Kate Hudson was at her 10-year high school reunion in Santa Monica Saturday wearing the new, and not-yet-released, Oliver Peoples Skla sunglass. The 2008 Resort Spring Collection for Oliver Peoples was presented to major accounts during the first week of October at Vision Expo West in Las Vegas.  We were proud to be one of the first accounts to preview the new fantastic line that was the hit of the convention and arguably the strongest release of any manufacture at the show.  Oliver Peoples also released their new and updated website that highlights their new sunglass and optical frames. The new line is a celebration of the 20th Anniversary of Oliver Peoples and was inspired by their vintage frames which are the true essence and foundation of their company and the designs of Larry Leight.

Kate is wearing the Skla sunglass which is a very glamorous hand-crafted frame that features custom hammered metal detailing of the temples which adds refined texture. The 20th Anniversary Oliver Peoples logo plaque is also discreetly laminated at temple end.  This sunglass (along with the Ilsa sunglass, which we will highlight at a later date) are our favorite of the new women’s sunglasses.

Another really cool and virtually unknown sunglass was shown on episode 35 on the award winning HBO series “Entourage”.  Vince (played by Adrian Grenier) was wearing Original Penguin by Munsingwear “Belize” sunglass. This model  is a very cool, and reto aviator that has been a big topic of conversation by people trying to figure out just what sunglass this was! 

Hayden Panettiere was out this weekend wearing the retro Oakley “Supreme Frogskins” in the special edition, and ultra rare, white frame with “Bronze Iridium” lens.  This version of the frame was one of the first Oakley sunglasses released back in 1984 and was very popular and manufacture for over 10 years.  The Frogskin design changed over the years and most significantly in 1996 when Oakley redesigned this sunglass and changed the name to “New Frogskin” introducing more wrap and a more sporty look.  The sunglass Hayden is wearing is a reproduction of that original Forgskin retro look. Oakley re-released this frame on a very limited production basis under the name “Supreme Frogskin”. 

Lip-Sync superstar Ashlee Simpson was having lunch in Malibu this week wearing the very exclusive and limited edition Fendi FS374R sunglass.  This frame was only available in boutiques and includes hand painted flowers and other artwork.  This sunglass is like wearing a priceless painting!

Sunglass Superstore is pleased to present Dior’s latest ultra exclusive sunglass, Dior Western. We just got a shipment of these beautiful frames into today and they are remarkable. The Dior Western will only be available at very select boutiques like Sunglass Superstore.

This piece is a limited production, special edition sunglass that is unbelievably gorgeous! The intricate details and engraving on the temples is simply amazing. This is a great sunglass for the connoisseur or Dior fanatic. This sunglass is destined to be talk of Dior this fall.
