Oliver Peoples X Nom De Guerre

BY Oliver Peoples | June 1, 2007

This summer, Oliver Peoples Eyewear teams up with Nom de Guerre for a limited edition collaboration sunglass. Dropping exclusively at Nom de Guerre on June 18th , the bold, retro style is the ultimate “East Coast meets West Coast" accessory. Nom de Guerre is a creative collective founded by Holly Harnsongkram, Wil Whitney, Devon Turnbull, and Isa Saalabi. The concept of the collective is to combine basic and diverse influences from art, fashion, and various New York subcultures to create a composite culture and product. The store opened October, 2003, in downtown Manhattan. Invisible to the average passerby, the space is inspired by underground sites such as bunkers, tunnels, and archeological digs, creating a sense of otherworldliness. Nom de Guerre has the look of a high-end Army/Navy outpost with a similar emphasis on utilitarian basics. Oliver Peoples, a Los Angeles based brand, draws inspiration from the extensive array of Hollywood culture including, fashion, sports, music, film, and the red carpet. Celebrating 20 years this upcoming season, they have established their position as the premiere global eyewear brand. Progressive dressers on both coasts can unite behind the exclusive collaboration. Available in two classic color ways, Dark Mahogany and Black, the thick, hand sculpted acetate design was inspired by the legendary 1950s musician Roy Orbisons classic style. Retro pin detailing and throwback 0-base, flat lenses, make the fresh, unisex frame effortlessly stylish. * Nom de Guerre - Manhattan * 640 Broadway * Lower Level * New York, New York 10012 * Telephone: 212 253 2891
