5 Things You Didn't Know About Oliver Peoples

Noria Morales — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 09:48:05 PDT

Oliver Peoples defines understated cool. They're not flashy sunglasses, and never will be. But somehow, the line based out of LA has become super fly, for the best reasons: the shades are really well-made and always seem to hone in on just the right shape. So just who is Oliver Peoples? We spoke with founder and creative director Larry Leight to get some good dirt on this quietly awesome brand. Here are five things you didn't know:

Oliver Peoples was a man before a brand
In 1986, optician Larry Leight purchased an estate collection of vintage, American-made eyewear, which included beautiful filigreed frames and clip-ons from the American machine age. With this purchase was a receipt signed by "Oliver Peoples," who was presumed to be the original owner. According to the estate seller, the man had no known living family, so Larry decided to name the store (and later the wholesale company) Oliver Peoples in his honor.

This dip-dyed style creates a cool illusion for the face. Kate opted for black and caramel, but there are numerous color combos.

Elijah Wood and Shirley Manson Are Bored on Sundays, in Oliver Peoples Shades

FabSugar — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 13:00:22 PST

We may admire some Fab ads, but if you really want to stand apart, produce a charming minimovie with random celebrities - Garbage's Shirley Manson, Elijah Wood - bored on Sundays. Frenchly named "Les enfants sennuient le dimanche" (the children are bored on Sundays), this wonderfully adorable, Royal Tenenbaums-esque movie, narrated by a simple guitar riff, is thoroughly amusing. Watch the couple sip Rosé, play golf (sorta), swim (sorta), kiss (sorta), and lounge around in retro gowns and dapper suits. All the while wearing Oliver Peoples's latest specs. Directed by Autumn de Wilde, it's wildly fabulous and not boring at all.

I felt a little bohemian this morning and pulled out my Summer maxi dress. It was windy day, so I layered up with a knit sweater and leather jacket. Though you can't see it, fleece lined tights keep me super warm underneath it all. Part hippie, part punk.
