Oliver Peoples x Public School brings a style that is a collaboration between Oliver Peoples design and Public School designers Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne.
“Despite recently being named the creative directors of compatriot (although longstanding) New York label DKNY, Maxwell Osborne and Dao-Yi Chao also have big moves for their own label Public School. Here we find the brand teaming up with classic eyewear imprint Oliver Peoples to deliver a deluxe collection of sunglasses for the new season. New York cool is embodied in three retro-style square frames, which are offered in two black versions and a standout opaque grey iteration. Packaged in a neat leather travel case and matching pouch.”

“With French couture on one side and pioneering eyewear on the other, the collaboration between Alexandre Vauthier and Alain Mikli combines two different kinds of high fashion expertise in a line of Italian-made, highly desirable sunglasses. Expect four bold, limited edition styles, in oval or rectangular shapes available in red, purple, khaki, white or black , or choose Swarovski crystals for more of a statement. See them for yourself in the campaign shot by Mert & Marcus, featuring Kate Moss, after they were exclusively unveiled yesterday evening, at the Alexandre Vauthier Spring/Summer 2018 show.”
