Oliver Peoples - The Soloist Sunglasses + Case & ClothBeautifully engraved metal aviator frames with black acetate temples from the Oliver Peoples x Takahiromiyashita collaboration. TheSoloIst. frames were constructed under a ‘salvage’ philosophy. It was important to Miyashita that nothing new was produced unnecessarily, and that when possible, stock parts from vintage eyewear be incorporated into the design. Old factories and warehouses were scoured for original pieces and turned out to be goldmines. When original parts could not be located, a year was spent replicating classical techniques with the original tooling used for Oliver Peoples frames close to 25 years ago. Finally the designs were infused with Miyashita’s original style and the combined parts were successfully reborn as luxury eyewear. The finished product is a masterpiece of old and new – vintage and vintage inspired. This double-bridge design, sunglass (Teardrop) was featured as part of the 2012 Campaign. The contrasting colors and finishes of the handmade acetate top-bar and temples paired with antiqued metal, including brushed silver, create a unique beauty, rich in detail. The sunglass design is a teardrop metal aviator offered with high quality polarized glass lenses ideal for optimal vision in all conditions. The gorgeous, filigreed metal eye wire of the frame features a pattern that is a reproduction of the original Oliver Peoples rim – a design first seen almost 25 years ago. Also inspired by vintage designs, the rivet nose pad and pad arm have been recreated to reflect high quality eyewear of the 20’s and 30’s. Both the material of the top-bar and the temple plaques are salvaged from unused stock parts from three decades ago. The rarity of the vintage parts makes these precious pieces a true collector’s item. Handmade in Japan
