A brand born of California, Oliver Peoples found the perfect inspiration in Cary Grant.

The Cary Grant x Oliver Peoples collaboration has been inspired by the sunglasses Cary Grant wore in the 1959 Hollywood classic North by Northwest, the design is the epitome of classic style.

The moment were Cary Grant adjusts his glasses has become an icon and these frames give to his charismatic character, Roger Thornhill, definition. This is a moment of flirtation and revelation in the iconic thriller “North by Northwest.” Oliver Peoples, with their commitment to character and style, wanted to bring to the market a model inspired by this significant moment. They represent something more than a simple accessory.

By adopting a clever usage of colour, shape and materials, Oliver Peoples gifts us a a faithful representation of Cary Grant adding a modern touch. Six clever colorways have been crafted to include a product-exclusive Grant tortoise acetate, and an18k gold plated style for Oliver Peoples boutiques and online. On the temple tip of the frame there is a discreet CG monogram created from his personal stationery, and a custom case inspired by the colors of his suit worn in the film.

“Cary used to wear sophisticated, essential and high quality glasses.

The three characteristics we have seen represent the core values of Oliver Peoples”.

Taking into consideration that no one embodies elegance more than Cary Grant, the Oliver Peoples CG frames are a must have for anyone who aspires to classic Hollywood style with a modern twist.

“Cary absolutely adored California,” Barbara says, “It was the cherry on top of the cake for this partnership.”

Oliver Peoples furthers their Cary Grant Estate collaboration with glasses inspired by the actor’s iconic off-duty style, creating the new Cary Grant 2 model.

The Cary Grant 2 is an evolution of the initial design and continues to pay homage to the timeless style of one of the most iconic Hollywood actors of all time. For Oliver Peoples, a combination style frame became that evolution.

Barbara Grant James says:

“These are the eyeglasses that Cary would have used”
