Though Boardwalk Empire is over, some of its cast has kept busy by starring in numerous fashion campaigns: Michael Pitt for Rag & Bone, Michael Zegen for Ovadia & Sons, and most recently, Jack Huston for Oliver Peoples. But unlike his former co-stars, Huston also got the chance to design for the brand, rather than simply be its face.
This season, Oliver Peoples will release a new frame that the 32-year-old Brit helped create. The design was inspired iconic Hollywood figures who, much like Huston, exude a masculine yet laid-back vibe. But above all, it had to be relevant to the modern man’s tastes.
“Collaborating on a frame that speaks to our brand’s home as well as Jack’s heritage, was a natural and exciting process,” says Larry Leight, Oliver Peoples founder and creative director. “We wanted to create something that was classic and elegant, but felt youthful and cool at the same time.”
Available in four colors— semi-matte ebonywood/graphite polar, raintree/jaide polar, black/G-15 polar, and cocobolo/bourbon polar—the design features a thick acetate frame, three-pin detailing on the front and temples, and two lens options, including the VFX Plus lenses that keep your eyes cool while minimizing strain.
Check out the Jack Huston for Oliver Peoples frames below. The sunglasses will be available at Oliver Peoples’ online store on Monday, March 9.
