Oliver Peoples XXV-RX

Oliver Peoples is a well respected and well known brand in the optical world. Larry Leight founded the brand in 1987 and is the Creative Director for the prestigious label. All of their eyewear is exclusive and for an elite crowd. Oliver Peoples is mostly famous for not branding their glasses with an egotistical logo as to not boast to others what brand they are wearing. The frames do not need to be branded as their style does all of the talking. Only those in the know of high-end brand and the fashion world will know that someone is wearing an Oliver Peoples which makes them exclusive.

The XXV-RX Oliver Peoples glasses are a limited edition from the brand to celebrate the brand’s 25 years. To mark this celebration, Larry Leight insisted on using Hollywood actor Ray Liotta and actress Bar Paly for the advertising campaign. Patrick Hoelck directed the short film of Liotta and Paly wearing the XXV Resort/Spring 2013 glasses and sunglasses. Leight specifically chose these actors as they depicted the brand’s identity of Hollywood elites and vintage mixed with the present day.

The OV5228 glasses was designed in 1989 by Larry Leight but was never released. The timing of the model back then was not right for the brand’s collection at the time but as Leight was looking through his personal archive he came across this design and thought the timing was perfect. Leight was to release a model to mark the successful 25 years with a reflection on the company’s history and the evolution of the iconic designs that would define the brand’s heritage. Many Hollywood elites and well-respected stars are fond of the Oliver Peoples brand and have even worn them on the red carpet and huge events such as the Oscars.

This model in particular is the perfect combination of thick polished plastic geek chic look along with modern twist of intricate detailing. On the hinging area of the frames is an engraved vintage design and there is also an arrow engraved on the temple arm which distinguishes them. ’25 anniversary’ is inscribed on the interior of the frames along with the brand name and there is also intricately filigreed metal detailing which is visible on the exterior. The frames are available in an exclusive colour assortment of modern neutrals to classic tortoiseshells. The brand aims to be the most culturally distinctive eyewear brand and their designs and success prove that they have archived this.
