Oliver Peoples Summer 2023 Campaign

With California’s superbloom as the backdrop – juxtaposed with tailored wardrobe and icons reimagined in stunning combination – the Oliver Peoples’ Summer 2023 campaign is a scene of captivating color saturation.

A look at the 1960’s inspired design details of Merceaux.

With this season’s record rainfall, California has been given a superbloom. This rare phenomenon occurs in a rainy season where an unusually high proportion of wildflower seeds blossom. With this natural wonder, a warm, southern California climate is all of a sudden a painted beauty.

Desmon Sun, offered in the limited-edition colorway, Translucent Dark Teal + Cognac, pairs with Parcell.

Color saturation was the guiding force behind the campaign. The visual scene plays with bold, dynamic hues and wardrobe blended with the stunning floral landscape – all amidst new color additions of best-selling styles.

“They who came to California were not the self-satisfied, happy and content people, but the adventurous, the restless, and the daring.”

- Joan Didion

Gregory Peck Sun, Desmon Sun, and Oliver Sun – take on new life in the summer collection. Offered in translucent hues alongside deep colors or dark acetates with warm toned lenses, it’s the perfect pairing with a natural season in bloom.
The contrast between the bold colors of the collection and the natural beauty of the landscape create a striking visual effect that captured the essence of a superbloom.
