Sporty-designed Oakley eyewear (sunglasses and optical glasses), sports apparel, flashy but durable watches, goggles and other time pieces, jackets, bags and backpacks have debuted in Manila in a fashion show extravaganza at WhiteSpace in Makati recently. This amidst a growing competition in the Philippine fashion and sports fashion arenas now dominated by foreign brands and dwarfing local brands that have proved themselves durable in quality and image for decades in the local market. The fashion show had a backdrop of active and busy streets of Oakley in California, similar to the hustle and bustle of Metropolitan Manila at daytime. Oakley designs, develops and manufactures sports performance equipment and lifestyle pieces including sunglasses, sports visros and optical frames, among others. Most items are designed in-house at the head office, but, in some countries, Oakley has exclusive designs relevant to the market.
