Oliver Peoples Gregory Peck Sun

A cinema-inspired acetate frame whose design connects a contemporary Oliver Peoples staple to the restrained eyewear worn by Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch.

Oliver Peoples Gregory Peck Sun OV5217S 1485W4

Introduced in 2012

Oliver Peoples records the Gregory Peck style as a 2012 launch, created in collaboration with the Peck Estate. The brand says the frame was inspired by the eyewear worn by Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch in the 1962 film To Kill a Mockingbird.

A deliberately older silhouette

The film is set in the 1930s, and Oliver Peoples describes the frame as evoking that period. The rounded front, keyhole-like bridge and restrained detailing give the Gregory Peck line its recognisable vintage character.
