Oliver Peoples and Roger Federer join forces "to reinvent performance eyewear"

Eyewear brand Oliver Peoples and Wimbledon Legend Roger Federer have unveiled the high-anticipated sunglasses collection, which was first announced in April 2023.

Oliver Peoples was founded in 1987 when it opened its first store in West Hollywood. Its frames were inspired by vintage American styles. The inspiration for the collection derived from the brand's and Federer's shared dedication to "excellence in one’s craft and appreciation for understated luxury".

The four-collection partnership begins with six new styles – including four sunglasses and two shield frames.
Federer, who purchased his first pair of Oliver Peoples sunglasses 20 years ago, said: "Sunglasses are something I’ve enjoyed as my sport has required me to chase the sun 80% of my life. One of the main goals of our collection was to create sunglasses that could be utilized in every aspect of one’s routine – off or on the court."

Throughout every angle, there are distinct, collaboration-exclusive details that honour Roger Federer. Note the '8' plaque, for example, this represents the tennis player's birthdate and his number of Wimbledon titles. What's more, the collection notably offers the first-ever shield styles in the history of the Oliver Peoples brand.

Oliver Peoples CEO, Rocco Basilico, commented:  "We are thrilled for the release of the Oliver Peoples and Roger Federer collaboration. Roger is a true icon of our generation who represents elegance, style, mastery, and precision. Together, we have joined forces to reinvent performance eyewear.

"Every style is made to be as luxurious as it is durable, as beautiful as it is functional. With lenses for high performance and exceptional optical quality, this ultra-lightweight design also features intricate collaboration exclusive details. For an aesthetic fit for sport and lifestyle, nothing compares. Finally, in eyewear, performance and luxury co-exist!"
