Oakley has been bridging elements of biomimicry with hyper-technical design and its new Culture Redefined collection follows the same notion. The brand has just launched the Plantaris collection last year in December with the focus and influence on the muscle structure of frog legs. The new collection builds on the similar notion as the progressive frames and silhouettes are refined.
The Lateralis and Masseter styles from the 2024-2025 collection of Fall/Winter designs aremade to build on the high-wrap notion through a modern lens. The former has a streamlined shape at the temples and the latter dives more into the brand's idea of minimalism. This means that it has clean lines and the notable rectangular lens with heritage themes.
