When Berlin-based eyewear innovator MYKITA partners with Milan-rooted menswear label OAMC, the result is less about seasonal novelty and more about long-term design language. Their latest eyewear capsule reflects a shared commitment to technical rigor, material innovation and an uncompromising approach to form.
OAMC (Over All Master Cloth) is a luxury, avant-garde menswear brand founded in 2013 by Luke Meier (former head designer of Supreme) and Arnaud Faeh (former creative director of Carhartt WIP).
“When I met Luke, it was immediately clear that we were speaking the same language,” says Moritz Krüger, MYKITA founder and creative director. The sentiment captures the foundation of the collaboration: a mutual respect for process-driven design and a belief that utility and refinement are not opposing forces.
At its core, the MYKITA + OAMC® capsule draws on the practical ethos of mid-century eyewear, reworking familiar functional tropes into contemporary designs with a distinctly high-end edge. The frames feel architectural yet restrained, engineered rather than styled a natural extension of both brands’ DNA.
“I have an appreciation for the ingenuity of Moritz and MYKITA – independent thinking, extreme pursuit of deep knowledge – so inspiring,” adds Luke Meier, co-founder and creative director of OAMC®. His words underline the intellectual alignment behind the collection, where experimentation is guided by discipline rather than excess.
Industrial Precision, Human Scale
The hybrid construction combines lightweight stainless steel with MYKITA’s proprietary MYLON® material, creating an industrial tactility that feels deliberate and modern. Flat base-two lenses establish a boxy, confident geometry, while subtle blinders introduce side protection and sculptural depth a nod to performance eyewear translated for urban life.
Two models anchor the capsule. RAT, a sharp square navigator, delivers a commanding silhouette with architectural clarity. GRUNT, by contrast, offers a retro-inflected panto shape with a double bridge, balancing softness and structure. Both designs speak to OAMC’s uncompromising visual language, executed through MYKITA’s proprietary engineering and advanced material know-how.
Premium sun lenses by Zeiss ensure superior optical clarity, complete UV protection and relaxed vision enhanced by advanced anti-reflective coatings. Every frame is handmade at MYKITA HAUS in Berlin, reinforcing the brand’s vertically integrated approach and commitment to manufacturing excellence.
Progressive by Design
MYKITA and OAMC® are recognised as progressive forces in their respective fields. Both design houses consistently push technical boundaries to achieve refined, purpose-driven products not for spectacle, but for longevity. In an industry increasingly driven by rapid cycles and visual noise, this collaboration offers a quieter, more considered proposition.
The MYKITA + OAMC® capsule is available now online and in stores worldwide. Readers can explore the origins of the collaboration in MYKITA’s Journal feature, where the design dialogue behind the collection is explored in greater depth.
In a market where collaboration often serves branding more than product, MYKITA and OAMC® demonstrate that shared values when executed with precision remain the most compelling differentiator.
