SOLOIST 4

BY Oliver Peoples | November 2, 2012

The Fourth Collection:
A Beautiful 3-dimensional Design Materialized by Unique Japanese Technology

Mr. Miyashita is as particular about eyewear as he as about clothes, and his choice has always been Oliver Peoples Eyewear, renowned for beautiful filigree and design.  The technique of fine ornamental metal, the variety of materials and the balance of variety in the collection inspired the imagination of Mr. Miyashita.

The 4th Collection in TheSoloIst series is comprised of bold but simple designs.  The voluminous shape was created by shearing a pressed sheet of acetate to 12mm thick at the hinge, resulting in the frame front appearing to flow backward.  The distinctive styles boast sharp-edged beveling of varied widths along the frame front and temples.  The Oliver Peoples original corewire remains visible from the interior.  Both the Oliver Peoples and TheSoloIst plaque are applied at each temple end, which includes diamond-shaped grommets for use with a lanyard.  The left lens is silk-screened with the phrase ‘left eye’ laminated between lenses, as in the previous collection.

In celebration of the Oliver Peoples 25th Anniversary, the 4th Collection includes a large cleaning cloth adorned with TheSoloIst original bandana pattern.  The 4th collection includes three styles and will arrive January 2013.
