By the very next year, the company’s brilliance with chic and elegant eyewear designs was quickly recognized through profiles on magazine covers and retail giants like Bloomingdale’s and Neiman Marcus who purchased the company’s products.

A recent article on The National Post interviewed the company’s founder, Larry Leight, and well describes the vintage with a twist style that Oliver Peoples eyewear is renowned world-wide for.

Iconic eyewear shapes – horn rims, cat’s eyes and aviators – have been the core of the brand throughout its 25 years and have surged in recent years. “The recession has been about basics,” Leight explains, “more classics. People aren’t going to splurge on tons of frames,” which is why he thinks that even through the recession, business kept going “pretty good.”

Building on classic shapes, Oliver Peoples adds on unique colors, metallic rims and elegant shading on their sunglasses to produce sun wear and everyday eyewear that is instantly recognizable, durable, classically styled and affordable.
