Oliver Peoples for 2011 signature frame, the Nom de Guerre flip up.



Oliver Peoples have been championing the flip up lens glasses for several seasons now, staring with an attractive campaign which used Elijah Wood and Shirley Manson, they re-launched the classic flip up riley glasses back in 2009, and have continued to push the idea that this style is the go to for seriously stylish men.

For Spring/Summer 2011 they have launched an equally visually stunning campaign, this time featuring Devandra Barnhart and rebecca Schwartz, yeah, me neither, following a campaign in 2008 featuring Zooey Deschanel, and the campaign already mentioned, it seems Oliver Peoples advertising budget has been cut, and Hollywood superstars are off the menu.

This years signature frame with the flip up treatment is the Nom De Guerre, a style originally released in 2008, is a retro style acetate frame with a stainless steel bridge accent, the lens size is 50mm and the arm length is 120mm, available in 4 colours of frame with matching lenses and a sympathetic bridge metal colour.

The total cost is £380, £250 for the Nom De Guerre frame and £130 for the clip on feature, sold as a complete set.
