So, we’re getting Prada Meta AI glasses, right?

TechCrunch
Mark Zuckerberg's appearance at a Prada show fuels speculation about upcoming Prada Meta AI glasses.

Summary

Speculation is mounting that Meta is preparing to launch Prada-branded Meta AI glasses following Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla's attendance at Prada’s Fall/Winter 2026 Fashion Week show, where Zuckerberg was seen with Lorenzo Bertelli, Prada’s Chief Merchandising Officer. This follows a CNBC report last summer suggesting Prada AI glasses were in development, though Meta has not officially announced a deal. Meta has been collaborating with EssilorLuxottica, the maker of Ray-Ban and Oakley glasses, which recently reported selling over 7 million AI glasses in 2025. A potential partnership with Prada, whose eyewear licensing deal with EssilorLuxottica was recently extended, could give Meta a foothold in the high-fashion market. However, the development comes amid growing consumer backlash against surveillance devices, which may cause Meta to reconsider including facial recognition features in future iterations of its AI glasses.
