Facing West

Set against the Corazza House, a 1970s Beverly Hills modernist curvilinear residence. The campaign unfolds as a visual memoir: one that revisits the warmth, ease, and introspection of a bygone era through a distinctly contemporary lens.

The essence of 70s Los Angeles is distilled into a refined, architectural language that feels inherently Oliver Peoples.

The duo is depicted in moments of observation rather than performance - glances, pauses, and gestures that reveal internal narratives instead of overt expression. This approach creates a sense of authenticity and introspection. The characters feel as though they inhabit the house, not pose within it.

Her presence is informed by the sprawling halls of the home. His stature—inspired by the tall yet care-free palm trees. Their presence becomes part of the architecture’s story.
