OG×OLIVER GOLDSMITH: Capturing the Spirit of Six Cities Through Their People

OG×OLIVER GOLDSMITH | OG by OLIVER GOLDSMITH


Exquisite Fit Achieved Through Titanium, Born from Japan-UK Collaboration


Founded 90 years ago, the British eyewear brand "OLIVER GOLDSMITH" launched "OG×OLIVER GOLDSMITH" in 2014. Leading the new line is Nick Goldsmith, a descendant of the family and a renowned film producer. Let us introduce the latest collection, showcasing his unique sensibility.

Occupations and People: Eyewear Designs Inspired by Their Charisma



Since the second collection, "CEGP," "OG×OLIVER GOLDSMITH" has adopted a design approach that involves thoroughly researching the faces and glasses of people in various professions, and then determining the shapes and materials of the eyewear within the brand's worldview. For this collection, research was conducted in six cities: Tokyo, London, San Francisco, Portland, Los Angeles, and São Paulo. The six models were completed, drawing significant inspiration from the individuals who live and work diligently in these cities.

Enhanced Durability and Structural Beauty Through Precision Craftsmanship



Particularly noteworthy is the structural beauty of the four models: Driver, Innovator, Baker, and Curator. A slice is made in the upper part of the acetate front, into which titanium material, integrating the front and nose bridge, is docked. This not only increases the strength of the front but also adds a rich, three-dimensional expression.

Furthermore, all models feature custom-developed nose pads. Experience the exquisite fit provided by titanium. The subdued color palette is inspired by British vintage cars. As with previous collections, all production is done in Japan. The high-quality, comfortable frames, born from the creativity of Japan-UK collaboration, seem to enhance the wearer's natural expression.
