Oliver Peoples and Roger Federer to collaborate on eyewear collection

EssilorLuxottica, the parent company of Oliver Peoples, has announced a partnership with Wimbledon legend Roger Federer to create an exclusive eyewear collection.

The company is a global leader in the design, manufacturing and distribution of ophthalmic lenses, frames and sunglasses. It has signed an exclusive licensing agreement for the design, manufacture, and worldwide distribution of eyewear between the Roger Federer and Oliver Peoples brands.

Oliver Peoples was founded in 1987 when it opened its first store in West Hollywood. Its frames were inspired by vintage American styles. Their first collection with Roger Federer will launch in the Spring of 2024. Inspiration for the designs is derived from their shared dedication to “excellence in one’s craft and appreciation for understated luxury”.

Francesco Milleri, Chairman and CEO of EssilorLuxottica, commented: "Roger Federer is a legendary athlete, a passionate entrepreneur, and a force in the worlds of fashion and lifestyle. Our shared values and his global influence makes him the perfect partner for us and for the Oliver Peoples brand. We’re looking forward to creating beautiful eyewear together."

Roger Federer is one of the most beloved and decorated tennis players in the history of the sport. He holds the men’s record for most Wimbledon titles with 8 during his illustrious career.

Federer added: "I am thrilled to collaborate with Oliver Peoples. I’ve been a fan of the brand for years and have always appreciated their exceptional craftsmanship alongside timeless, elegant designs. We both found great commonality in how we approach our work."
