Kiko Kostadinov and Oakley have partnered on a collaborative interpretation of the Ellipse eyewear silhouette

Debuted during the AW26 Womenswear runway show in Paris the sunglasses feature wood grain and feather applications

The collection launched globally on October 1 in two distinct colorways with Prizm Bronze lenses

Kiko Kostadinov and Oakley have officially presented their latest collaborative project, offering a distinct interpretation of the Oakley Ellipse frame. First debuted during the Fall/Winter 2026 Womenswear runway show in Paris, the joint design translates outdoor-inspired motifs into a forward-thinking eyewear piece.

Drawing visual inspiration from nature, the frame’s two distinct colorways—”Brown Smoke Wood” and “Amherst Fade”—translate organic feather and wood grain textures directly onto the silhouette. Constructed from Oakley’s signature lightweight O Matter™ material, the frames are paired with no-slip Unobtainium® earsocks and customizable Unobtainium® nose pieces to ensure secure, all-day wearability.

Technologically, the Ellipse frame utilizes PhysioMorphic™ Geometry to achieve its distinctive, fluid lens curvature. Both colorways are fitted with Oakley’s Prizm™ Lens Technology in a Bronze tint, optimizing contrast and visual clarity while seamlessly completing the natural, outdoor-focused aesthetic.

The Kiko Kostadinov x Oakley Ellipse has officially launched globally online.
