Retail Buyers Guide:
Brand: Oakley
Interviewee: Britta Dornick, Business Brand Manager DACH

What is the overall theme behind your FW 21/22 outerwear range? From which big trends do you take your inspiration?
Oakley’s snow collection was designed in collaboration with world-class athletes in a mission to elevate cold-weather comfort across a wide range of demanding conditions. Each athlete represents the best in his or her respective sport and together they formed a team the likes of which have never been seen before. Oakley worked closely with each athlete to design a line that a line that is tailored to their specific needs, both on and off the mountain.

The result is an updated line with broad appeal to those seeking performance apparel. The collection features the latest fabric technologies, combined with modern silhouettes and an added attention to detail. Whether submitting an alpine peak, jitting the park or relaxing in apres-ski style, this line showcases an array of stylish options. For example:

JAMIE ANDERSON: Jamie’s collaboration was inspired by her love of mixing her favorite prints as well as incorporating blue in the color palette. Her love of traditional Native American patterns mixed with cheetah print, developed into a chic pattern peppered in jackets, one-piece suits and hoodies for a feminine but chic look. An updated pant fit that is looser at the top part was also a welcome addition to this season.
