I have recently been lusting and swooning after a chic pair of Oliver Peoples glasses ever since I tried on a tortoise-shell pair in a Brighton optician. A few months later I saw a shop assistant in a fashionable Old Street boutique wearing a similar pair, and knew it was time to for-goe the contact lenses and go back to old-school chunky eyewear.
Above is a melancholic and brooding illustration by artist Paul X Johnson, titled Behold a Pale Horse. His images depict classic beauties in a greyed-out world, brooding into the distance with the obligatory ebony slicked back hair and venomous lips. Below that is an image of actor Gregory Peck, as Atticus Finch in the classic film of To Kill A Mockingbird, which has inspired a new vintage style for Oliver Peoples to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the literary novel.
