Dior joins Oliver Peoples?
Cult eyewear label Oliver Peoples has
hooked up with none other than Dior Homme's artistic director, Kris Van Assche,
to create its latest collection of surefire sell-out limited edition
sunglasses.
The masculine designs, which echo the sporty-yet-sophisticated aesthetic of Van
Assche's mainline collections, debuted on his own-name catwalk during Paris
Fashion Week - but don't be fooled into thinking they're all about fitting into
a trend.
"Being able to change the colour of the lens makes these glasses a product
of identity, rather than of fashion," Van Assche explains.
Kris Van Assche's designs for Oliver Peoples will hit the shelves next month,
priced £250.
