When a celebrity teams up with a designer to produce a range of clothing or accessories its success is a matter of personal opinion. It’s often rare for such collaborations to go really well but if the pre-sales hype surrounding quirky singer-actress Zooey Deschanel and star styling sunglasses brand Oliver Peoples were anything to go by this one would be a triumph.
More than a year after its launch, the hype has proved true and the Oliver Peoples/Zooey Deschanel team has created one of the most popular sunglasses frames to own this year. As seen here on Kim Cattrall, the adorable 1950s Oliver Peoples Zooey is a Wayfarer-inspired limited edition frame that will have you walking in the footsteps of the classic Hollywood stars of the 1950s.
For this reason the Zooey is the foremost choice for stars of the current Hollywood set, and Oliver Peoples claims that its core DNA lies with Los Angeles, where the fashion obsession is for all things retro and similarly the theme of Oliver Peoples sunglasses, which are inspired by fashions of the 50s, 60s and 70s.
Of course Zooey Deschanel’s quirky nature is captured in the very essence of the glasses. Fog over the lenses with your breath and the imprint of Zooey’s lips appears, pursed in a kiss. The accessories do not go unnoticed either; the cloth and case both feature the starlet’s signature and lips motif, and the cloth resembles a cocktail napkin; each one designed to show the fun and sexy side of Zooey herself.
Zooey lenses are of CR-39, one of the most advanced polymers used in lenses available, and the Oleophobic coating repels water, oil, fingerprints and dust - Maximum performance and trend-setting style in a beautifully handcrafted frame.
This year Zooey Deschanel has been turning into something of a style icon, with her cool quirky look which takes inspiration from such fashion heavyweights as Jackie O and Audrey Hepburn. Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s is considered one of the most iconic images of 20th century cinema and the influence of her style on Zooey Deschanel is obvious. This naturally seeps in to the design of the Zooey frame and throughout the film Hepburn wears a similarly-styled pair of sunglasses, often mistaken for a Ray-Ban wayfarer.
In the campaign for the Zooey sunglasses, Deschanel told of how she would not want to be involved with a product collaboration unless she actually loved it, and she loves Oliver Peoples glasses. And so it seems does everyone else. Chic and mysterious; smart, sassy and sophisticated; the girl or the glasses? Most believe both.
