In 1994, the famed British clothing designer Sir Paul Smith partnered with the well-known and loved Oliver Peoples to develop and design Paul Smith Spectacles, a fun, funky, and edgy eyewear collection espousing the aesthetic of the Paul Smith brand. The collection combines the whimsical yet classic designs and attention to detail synonymous with Sir Paul Smith, along with the outstanding craftsmanship and optical expertise of Oliver Peoples eyewear.

Sophisticated yet edgy, the Paul Smith Spectacles eyewear collection is designed by hand of the highest quality materials, which reflect the offbeat and sometimes peculiar style of Sir Paul Smith. Its roots are clearly English, with styles often reflecting the forms and shapes inspired by 1960’s and 70’s London. In contrast, the colorations and treatment of the materials found in the collection reflect the offbeat, and sometimes peculiar style of Paul Smith clothing.

Paul Smith Spectacles are handcrafted of the finest materials and the designs are precisely engineered to offer the most comfortable fit to each wearer. At the heart of the collection is color. Whether a vibrant jewel tone, an interesting metal, or a multi-layered laminate, color is always the central theme. Though the collection has several outstanding metal designs, designers at Paul Smith developed a multi-layer color lamination process that altered the direction of the eyewear industry and popularized a trend in plastic frame coloring that remains true to this day.

Often seen on the Paris runaways and in high-end fashion magazines worldwide, Paul Smith Spectacles has been the eyewear of choice for creative and eclectic individuals for over a decade, including Gwen Stefani, Kate Moss and Jaime Foxx. With a constant finger on the pulse of fashion and current trend, Paul Smith has designed a line of prescription frames and designer sunglasses that will cause people to notice your eyewear.
