Cool Blue: Paul Newman x Oliver Peoples

Paul Newman characterised a kind of coolness that still has an impact today. With the new Oliver Peoples x Paul Newman collection, his legacy now takes on a contemporary form - in the shape of sunglasses and prescription glasses.

    Oliver Peoples

Some styles don't age. They don't get louder, they don't get trendier, they get clearer.
Paul Newman embodied exactly this kind of taste. No calculated look, no fashion statement for its own sake.

With the new Oliver Peoples x Paul Newman collection, this legacy takes on a contemporary form - in the shape of sunglasses and prescription glasses that do not nostalgically quote, but reinterpret character.

Paul Newman was many things: Hollywood legend, racing driver and philanthropist. But whether on the film set, in his free time or on the racetrack - his style remained constant. His sunglasses were not a fashion accessory, but part of his charisma.

Oliver Peoples picks up on precisely this spirit. The Paul Newman models epitomise understated elegance that doesn't aim to please. Clear lines, drop-shaped lenses, high-quality acetate frames - minimalist in expression, powerful in effect.

Manufactured in Japan, the frames impress with their precise workmanship and fine details. Particularly striking: "Newman Blue", a shade of blue that pays homage to his eyes. Metal temple tips engraved with his initials "PLN" and a special pattern on the inside of the temple - inspired by the details of his racing helmet - refer to his second great passion: motorsport.

Another highlight is the black prescription frame with pale blue lenses called "Cool Blue". Casual, unagitated, timeless - just like the image that characterises Newman to this day.

1/3

The purpose of this collection shows that it is more than just design: Oliver Peoples x Paul Newman supports the Newman's Own Foundation, which donates all profits and licence fees to charity - in particular to support disadvantaged children and their communities.

The presentation of the collection deliberately coincides with the day on which Paul Newman would have turned 101. It will be available worldwide from 26 January 2026 - in Oliver Peoples boutiques, online and from selected retail partners.
