- FLO and Barcelona-based eyewear label Meller have dropped a co-designed three-piece sunglasses collection built around the Sami silhouette, a semi-rimless wraparound frame in silver, dark gunmetal, and silver-purple.
- The campaign, announced May 1, 2026, was shot and edited in the visual style of a FLO music video, tight cuts, elemental themes, and each member (Jorja = light, Renée = water, Stella = earth) embodying a distinct persona.
- This is FLO's second notable fashion brand collaboration, following their Crocs ambassador deal in late 2025. The Meller partnership marks their first foray into eyewear.
- Meller, known for character-driven campaigns, previously collaborated with Latin pop star Nathy Peluso on a named sunglasses silhouette in April 2025, and has tapped UK-based influencer Alicia Roddy as Chief Stylist Officer.
London trio FLO (Jorja Douglas, Stella Quaresma, and Renée Downer) have partnered with Barcelona eyewear brand Meller on a co-designed sunglasses collection dropping May 2026.
The collaboration centres on the Sami silhouette: a sleek, semi-rimless wraparound frame available in silver, dark gunmetal, and silver-purple, all built on Y2K-era energy that aligns tightly with FLO’s signature aesthetic.
The campaign was directed with the pace and polish of a music video, featuring tight cuts, luminous visuals, and a confident, confrontational gaze, hallmarks of FLO’s visual language since their 2022 breakout. Each member represents an elemental force: Jorja as light, Renée as water, and Stella as earth.
This marks FLO’s second major fashion brand partnership, following their 2025 Crocs campaign. At the time, the group described the Crocs deal as “a no-brainer” because they already wore the product.
For Meller, the FLO collab follows their April 2025 work with Nathy Peluso. That campaign leaned into a late-night TV aesthetic, resulting in a new oversized sunglasses silhouette aptly named “the Nathy.”
FLO recently performed their lead single “Leak It” at the 2026 MOBO Awards and won their first MOBO Award for Best R&B/Soul Act. They are also confirmed performers at BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend later this year.
Just as A$AP Rocky and Nas made waves by blending music and eyewear culture, and Nicole Kidman and Pedro Pascal fronted Chanel’s star-studded eyewear campaign, FLO’s Meller drop signals music’s growing grip on the accessories space.
Takeaways
This collab is a smart move on both sides of the table. FLO’s entire brand identity, the nostalgia-forward R&B, the cinematic visuals, the Y2K references in their music, slots perfectly into Meller’s world.
The Barcelona label has built its reputation on character-driven, storytelling-first campaigns, and FLO brings exactly that energy. It also continues the trio’s clear strategy of aligning with brands they organically connect with, rather than taking any deal on the table, a lesson the Crocs partnership already demonstrated.
For Meller, landing a group at FLO’s level of cultural momentum (MOBO Award winners, Grammy-nominated, BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend confirmed) marks a significant step up in star power from their previous partner roster.
With FLO’s second studio album on the way, could this Meller deal be the first of a broader wave of brand partnerships timed to that release cycle? Does tying a sunglasses campaign so tightly to a music video aesthetic set a new blueprint for how girl groups should approach brand collaborations?
