Technological innovation
The concept of pushing boundaries of shapes and materials has shaped the Mikli identity beyond product.
The Alain Mikli essence is deeply rooted in art and fashion, with a strong liaison with avant-garde design philosophy. Keywords that describe the brand best are: passion, love of art, obsession for details, fervour to experiment, infatuation with color.
The ultra-wrapping KOK 180® design
Thermoformed acetate contours the face seamlessly through KOK® technology. Its stabilized material memory ensures long-lasting shape retention and optimal corrective precision.
Crafted from bio-recycled acetate, these frames reflect exceptional craftsmanship through patented flexible hinges, sculpted temples, and millimetric adjustments.
Optical and sun styles combine stability, elegance, and full compatibility with the latest generation of progressive lenses.
The Spring-Summer 2026 collection embodies Alain Mikli’s philosophy: exploring materials, elevating color, refining function.
BioPik®
Spring-Summer 2026 also marks the introduction of BioPik®, a new technological signature from Alain Mikli.
This innovation is built on an exclusive five-layer acetate construction, enabling exceptionally precise control over the placement of colors and patterns. The result is a crystalline effect with striking visual depth, as if the color were fused into the very core of the material.
A masterful technical achievement that further amplifies the intensity of Alain Mikli Red. Each BioPik® frame includes an integrated NFC chip, providing smartphone access to its digital passport. Features, authenticity, and traceability come together in a seamless experience.
3D printing
These products are using an innovative 3D printing technology. The modelling phase demands outstanding capacity and technological skills to deliver an optical product ready for printing. From the printing process to the hand-finishing and assembling phases, including the meticulous one-by-one application of strass, the latest technologies are combined with deep artisanal expertise.
The end result is a perfect fusion of craftsmanship, attention to detail, refined taste, and sophisticated.
Alain Mikli unique signatures
Every Alain Mikli frame integrates advanced technology and carefully crafted details to ensure the wearer enjoys the most comfortable and refined wearing experience.
The flexible hinge ensures a perfect fit by adapting smoothly to the shape of the face.
The integrated nosepiece is shaped directly into the bridge and nose area for a better weight distribution and an optimal support without pressure points.
The temples are precisely curved to follow the natural contour of the head, providing a balanced and secure fit. They feature a subtle asymmetry, one side concave, the other convex, a pending patented technology which allows the perfect closure of the frame while increasing durability and reducing long-term wear.
