Oliver Peoples is an American eyewear manufacturer that was founded by Larry Leight in Los Angeles in 1986, and has since made sunglasses for the likes of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Settling into West Sunset Boulevard was an easy decision for Larry because cool eyewear is ubiquitous in the neighbourhood, which is full of hip locals such as David and Victoria Beckham and Kate Beckinsale (who wears Oliver Peoples Anisette).
For every woman in need of a good pair that can stand up to UV radiation, or even the fashion police of the stylish streets of LA, is Oliver Peoples. Sometimes, all one wants from a sunglass is that it does its job incredibly well and is stylish in an understated manner. One such sunglass is Anisette that, with its soft rectangular shape and simple outline, sits on the face without shouting. The star of the collection, Anisette is fashioned of thick acetate and utilises exclusive technology developed by Oliver Peoples; Suspended Metal, hand-laid core-wire encased between two layers of plastic remains visible, resulting in a floating metal wire that appears suspended. Undeniably, Oliver Peoples make a fine pair of sunglasses. The design is universally flattering and, with technically advanced lenses with an Oleophobic lens coating and UV protection, offers a new way of experiencing visual performance and then some.
Put a fabulous spring in your step with Anisette, which also comes in an alternative version – the Ilana by Oliver Peoples has a softer shape and bevelled contours. It will make you say 'oh la luxe' out loud. This summertime sizzler is offered in a choice of two colours; obsidian gradient and cocobolo that looks as good as it sounds. Both sunglasses are to-die-for and are impossibly stylish, thus making it excruciatingly hard to choose. Buy both and express yourself with Oliver Peoples.
