i've had a thing for oliver peoples' promotional shorts for a few years, even if i don't have the ends to actually buy a pair of frames for myself. in 2009, the luxury eyewear kings launched an uber stylish campaign with zooey deschanel at the helm. to accompany her signature pair of specs, they released the short, "to catch a tuesday" featuring fellow singer matt costa. in 2010, they recaptured the magic with garbage frontwoman shirley manson and everyone's favorite hobbit, elijah wood in "les enfants s'ennuient le dimanche (the children are bored on sundays)".
early in this new year, their beautiful consistency is seen through, "at the rainbow house", starring eccentric singer devendra banhart and real life girlfriend rebecca schwartz. with a keen interest on exploring intimacy and chemistry between lovers, it succeeds through what feels like a flood of voyeuristic yet cinematic snapshots. oh and the glasses aren't too shabby either.
check out all three campaigns below.
