Synposis of WWD’s Oliver Peoples Special Issue

The Oliver Peoples Tokyo Gallery, Oliver Peoples’ sole store in Japan, is an attractive place that provides exclusive service and limited editions available only in store.  To add to the already inviting environment, Oliver Peoples Tokyo Gallery also handles its own custom compilation albums to create a unique and personal atmosphere.  Recently, Oliver Peoples is introducing very special, hand-crafted, luxurious optical frames made of buffalo horns finished with rich texture: the Kramer, the Ruskin and the Killian.

Oliver Peoples has been gaining momentum and creating buzz like none other with collaborations with a Hollywood actress, the sale of an original CD and special optical frames made of buffalo horn, part of their Vintage collection.

Mosley Tribes hits the streets of Japan with a trendy, edgy, urban look.  The brand, started in 2005, is the son of Oliver Peoples and offers affordable price points, a pleasant aspect in the current economic situation.

Larry Leight, founder of Oliver Peoples and Mosley Tribes, was born in Hollywood, California.  Known for being an astute, talented businessman as well as a craftsman with integrity, he is also just an everyday man with a young spirit and a passion for surfing.

Mosley Tribes is a brand inspired by sport culture, street luxury, and classic style.  The brand strives to be bolder and edgier than its parent brand yet still retain its roots detail and style.

Frames described in the article and depicted in the images include (in order of appearance from the top), Free City 2 in red/black checkers, Gates in yellow, Lyndel in yellow gingham, Cheyne in black, and the Shooter a Maharishi/Mosley Tribes collaboration.

Let me introduce to you the MOSLEY TRIBES intern.  I met Stephen back in March on a rooftop in Manhattan, NY at the OLIVER PEOPLES/MOSLEY TRIBES loft.  Later on this year he would hit me up and ask if he could intern over at MOSLEY TRIBES.  He had expressed to me that he wanted to learn the ropes of the street luxury eyewear game and understand what does it take to run and manage a brand like MOSLEY TRIBES.  So I thought it over and  asked him what his goals were and what skills he could offer the MOSLEY team, I am excited to have a person assisting me in the behind the scenes work here at MOSLEY TRIBES. Currently he is honing his skills in all the latest design programs and getting his feet wet on the day to day of what goes on here at the OLIVER PEOPLES offices.

So Mr. Flynn Adam cruised up to Sunset to meet with me, Paul and Jon from The Social Trust. We are wrapping up the final cut of the MOSLEY TRIBES video and Flynn was putting the score together for us.

Paul and Jon (The Social Trust) Jon recently joined the TST team, he is bringing the motion photography and video to the next level.

I wanna thank the the homies for all the hard work, the MOSLEY TRIBES video is gonna be sick, stay tuned.
