At the Maximilian Raynor Fall/Winter 2026 show during London Fashion Week, Layton Williams arrived with the Ray-Ban Wayfarer Puffer RB4940 in place. The black acetate frame with its cushioned, squared profile cut a sharp silhouette against the front-row crowd, matching the show's theatrical energy without competing with it. Williams, whose stage and screen work has made him one of Britain's most watchable performers, wore the frame with an easy confidence that felt entirely at home among the season's editors and buyers.
The thicker puffer lines read as bold but modern, the deep black lenses keeping the look anchored while the recognizable Wayfarer shape provided the through-line. Against the flashes outside the venue, the frame stayed crisp, its gloss catching the light in a way that felt deliberate and composed. It was a fitting choice for a fashion-week moment, polished enough for the occasion and relaxed enough to feel personal. A quiet but memorable punctuation to a forward-looking season, and a reminder that the Wayfarer Puffer translates just as cleanly from the front row to the street.
The Ray-Ban Wayfarer Puffer RB4940 reimagines the iconic Wayfarer with a bold, inflated acetate frame that creates a distinctive, sculptural look. While maintaining the recognizable silhouette, the design introduces softer, rounded edges and increased volume. Typically fitted with solid lenses, it provides reliable visual comfort and sun protection. The thicker construction offers a stable and secure fit, making it suitable for everyday wear with a more expressive aesthetic.
