Byredo x Oliver Peoples Scent & Sunglasses Collaboration

Byredo and Oliver Peoples have come together for a collaboration featuring both brand’s fortes — scent and sunglasses. The collaboration is inspired by Los Angeles and the phenomenon of synesthesia: a neurological circumstance where one has a connection between senses, when a smell may trigger a color or shape. The scent is inspired by Los Angeles’ scenery, with notes of lemon and juniper berries mixed with oris butter, patchouli fraction, musks, warm sand accord and helichrysum. Three different glass bottles encase the scents, each representing different perspectives of Los Angeles. To complement the scents are a pair of Oliver Peoples wayfarers, touting a semi-black frame and beige crystal lenses. The two items come packaged in a wooden box, and the set will be available next month.

American Psycho - Style Glasses From Oliver Peoples

You know those good looking specs Patrick Bateman wore in American Psycho? Those gloriously late 80′s frames? The line in the movie goes something like this… Patrick Bateman: “Paul Allen has mistaken me for this dickhead Marcus Halberstram. It seems logical because Marcus also works at P&P and in fact does the same exact thing I do and he also has a penchant for Valentino suits and Oliver Peoples glasses. Marcus and I even go to the same barber, although I have a slightly better haircut.” Well, Oliver Peoples is bringing that dapperness back with their vintage “Sir” series featuring various tortoiseshell glasses. Whether or not you’re a psychotic fictional character, they’re a solid look. Buy here.

The Shade of it All

Trendsetters will appreciate the new range of summer sunnies. Take the Miu Miu Culte ($358, ILORI.com), the hexagonal frame is made for a fashionista worth her salt. Meanwhile, the Mande ($340, 212.585.3433) by Oliver Peoples gives off an Audrey Hepburn vibe with the chic tortoiseshell finish that winks at retro without trying too hard. Leave it to Stella McCartney ($225, Sunglass Hut) to make her sunglasses eco-friendly by utilizing raw materials such as castor oil and cellulose—the most organic compound on earth. (And all this time you thought it was carbon!) Finally, the mysterious minx will love Yves Saint Laurent’s Cat-Eye ($325, ysl.com) frames for their sexy allure. Belle de Jour be damned!
