A series of exclusive glasses were presented in collaboration during the latest Paris Fashion Week.
Designed by Laura Fanning y Deanna Fanning, the collection incorporated a series of prototypes into the AW26 catwalk that fuse formal experimentation, material narrative and Oakley‘s technical DNA. For this event, the Californian brand has developed a series of frames created specifically for the show, integrating organic motifs inspired by feathers and wood into a custom-designed structure. The result is a hybrid piece that combines a robust aesthetic with optical engineering, also equipped with Prizm™ lenses, Oakley‘s technology that optimises contrast and colour perception.
The catwalk featured various interpretations of the Oakley Ellipse model, one of the most recognisable archetypes. The new versions adapt their proportions and finishes to dialogue with the codes of the Kostadinov universe: organic surfaces, natural references and a constant exploration of volume.
Alongside these reinterpretations, a unique prototype was also unveiled, developed exclusively for the show. This experimental piece amplifies the usual scale of the glasses and redefines their proportions, transforming the accessory into an almost cult object.
All archetypes have been conceived at Moonbase1, Oakley‘s high-security innovation laboratory dedicated to developing radical concepts and projecting the future of the brand’s design. From this space—where engineering, material research, and advanced prototyping converge—the idea of bringing technical experimentation directly to the catwalk was born.
The frames were handcrafted in California and produced using 3D printing in the brand’s in-house laboratory, a process that allowed for the exploration of new relationships between material, scale and structure without the limitations of conventional production.
