The Story Behind Oliver Peoples
Founded in 1987 on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, Oliver Peoples was born from a serendipitous discovery—a collection of vintage frames found in a warehouse. From the very beginning, the brand set itself apart with a radically different approach to luxury: no visible logos, just an obsession with detail, clean lines, and a distinctly cinematic spirit.
It quickly became the signature look of Hollywood insiders—actors, directors, and artists in search of authenticity. In 2006, the brand joined the Luxottica Group, expanding its global reach while preserving its creative DNA.
Over the decades, Oliver Peoples has evolved into a global icon of understated design, staying true to its Californian roots and exceptional craftsmanship, split between Italy and Japan. Every frame expresses a unique vision of style—quiet, elegant, and timeless.
“The Eyes of Oliver”: The Art of Seeing Differently
The Spring-Summer 2025 campaign, titled The Eyes of Oliver, explores a powerful question: what does our gaze reveal about who we are—and how do glasses shape that perception?
Shot by renowned photographer Guy Aroch, the campaign features American actor Brandon Sklenar (1923) and model Camille Rowe in a visual narrative that’s both cinematic and introspective. Filmed at the legendary Beverly Estate in Los Angeles—once home to Marion Davies and William Randolph Hearst—the campaign draws from Hollywood’s cinematic language to blur the line between reality and illusion.
Set against this history-rich backdrop, Oliver, the character played by Sklenar, embodies a search for self through the gaze. When he removes his glasses, he disappears—a poetic way to express what the brand has always stood for: eyewear is not just an accessory, it’s an extension of identity.
Among the standout pieces highlighted are the Cary Grant Sun sunglasses worn by Brandon Sklenar, and the glamorous Eyles frame seen on Camille Rowe—two signature styles of the season.
With its play of light, contemplative framing, and muted tone, The Eyes of Oliver restores mystery and emotion to the gaze—marking a new chapter in the refined, quiet aesthetic of Oliver Peoples 2025.
