Oliver Goldsmith Sunglasses
January 25, 2012
Peter Sellers. Audrey Hepburn. Sophia Loren. Grace Kelly. Michael Caine. Vidal Sassoon. Christian Dior. What do all these Twentieth Century Icons have in common? Oliver Goldsmith.
Oliver Goldsmith started making eyewear in the twenties but it wasn’t until the swinging sixties that it became THE eyewear collection to be seen wearing. Cult movie classics such as Ipcress Files and Breakfast At Tiffanys ensured the brand was extremely desirable. Who wouldn’t want to look as sexy as Audrey?!! (common misconception is she was wearing a Wayfarer- no no!)
