Modegeschiedenis
Larry Leight founded the brand in 1987 in West Hollywood after acquiring an estate collection of vintage American-made eyewear. This collection included a receipt signed by Oliver Peoples, which provided the company's name. The brand gained cultural significance through its association with Hollywood and its appearance in films like American Psycho. It influenced fashion history by popularizing the retro-eyewear trend and maintaining a logo-free design philosophy during an era of heavy branding.
