This snap comes from the Oliver Peoples archive, where they’ve been taking inspiration from one of the most famous pairs of sunglasses in rock ‘n’ roll. Take notes, gentlemen.

“Oliver Peoples”
A certain kind of professorial glasses peaked around the 20s—so we’re happy to see Oliver Peoples indulging in a throwback or two. These are one of three frames from the newly launched Oliver Peoples Vintage collection—replicas of OP’s first collection in 1987, which were originally modeled after 20s-era deadstock. It boils down to intricate nosepieces and Indy-style tortoise shells frames—the opposite number to the thick-framed glasses making their way through the Williamsburgs of the world.

The clubmaster revival continues with Oliver Peoples’ latest campaign. We wouldn’t have pegged Elijah Wood as model material but he pulls off the wispy stubble look remarkably well, which is no mean feat. Yes, that’s Shirley Manson behind him and no, we’re not sure why either.
It’s a little too cold to be thinking about sunglasses at the moment, but maybe we just need to think warm thoughts. And grab a good pair of sunglasses…
These come from an Oliver Peoples offshoot called Mosley Tribes, and they should be hitting stores at about the same time you’re willing to go outside again. Around the time March and April roll around, these summery shades will be finding their way into window displays, and we’ll be among the first in line. We like their gingham model too, but somehow these take the cake.
Besides, the yellow reminds us of summer.
