Oliver Goldsmith and Ted Baker collaborate on eyewear collection
Eyewear brand Oliver Goldsmith has partnered with fashion retailer Ted Baker on a new eyewear collection.
The limited-edition range comprises two womenswear and two menswear shapes that are an exact replica of the original Oliver Goldsmith frames worn by iconic cultural figures of the 1960s including Jackie Onassis and Michael Caine, as well those worn by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
Subscribe to TRBOliver Goldsmith’s silhouettes have been given an injection of colour and personality with signature Ted Baker prints that punctuate the inner frames and match back to clothing across Ted Baker’s spring/summer collections.
Anthony Cuthbertson, global creative director at Ted Baker, said: “This unique collaboration marks a coming together of two British style icons – the story of creative vision, statement styling and the joy in storytelling. We’re celebrating prints, shapes, and the best of British quirk.”
The collection is exclusively available online and in-store at Ted Baker’s Regent Street flagship in London with a recommended retail price of £300.
Claire Goldsmith, fourth generation owner of Oliver Goldsmith, said: “As the originators of fashion eyewear, Oliver Goldsmith are intrinsically rooted in British culture and so the opportunity to partner with another likeminded British heritage brand makes perfect sense. For this collection we extensively explored Ted Baker’s design archives and have developed a technique of marrying print to frame which is something we’ve never tried before.”
