Oliver Peoples has become as renowned for its celebrity collaborations and star studded campaigns as it has for vintage eyewear. In late September, 2009, the brand announced it would be reuniting with highly acclaimed photographer and director Autumn de Wilde to cast another set of influential celebrities to star in their 2010 campaign, whose last cinema ad campaign featured tastemakers Robert Evans and Zooey Deschanel in a short storyline film. So successful was the storyline, sunglass sales of the broadcasted models sky-rocketed over night.
Oliver Peoples released its first ever model in 1987. The unveiling was described as a dramatic departure from the futuristic styles that were popular at that time, and consequently changed the course of eyewear. Both fashion and technology has progressed since then, and Oliver Peoples sunglasses now protect against oil, fingerprints and dust, as well as ultraviolet radiation.
The overall collection is an accurate representation of the Southern California lifestyle, where Oliver Peoples has become part of everyday life. The lack of branding and visible logos lends subtle sophistication to each and every individual model, which has been crafted in-house by hand. Oliver Peoples sunglasses are refreshingly discreet – almost to the point of non-existence – and are the must-have accessory of the discreet and discerning dresser.
