Oliver Peoples x KHAITE
Collaboration
Vintage shapes are reimagined with a shared dedication to a distinctive yet enduring style, exquisite materials and unrivalled craftsmanship. A sunglass collection that expresses KHAITE's signature sensuality and ease, handmade in Italy by Oliver Peoples.
Nuances of shape and colour
Shaped by formative encounters, cultural touchstones and secret desires, KHAITE's point of view comes to life through feminine ready-to-wear and accessories that find confidence in contrast. Every piece proposes a new balance of opposites: masculine and feminine, strength and softness, structure and fluidity.
Founded in 2016 by creative director Catherine Holstein and based in New York, KHAITE evolves each season on a foundation of robust yet polished pieces, distinguished by exceptional materials and subtle but striking details. Holstein was named CFDA Womenswear Designer of the Year 2022.
Each season, KHAITE introduces a woman, and Oliver Peoples eyewear has helped bring her to life on the runway. We infused our point of view through transformative details, nuances of shape, fit and colour. It is a true collaboration.Catherine Holstein, Founder and Creative Director of KHAITE

The temples are instantly recognisable: a first-of-its-kind double-inlay process exposes the custom core wire inspired by the hardware of KHAITE's bags. Alternating Oliver Peoples and KHAITE logo tips and double pins enhance strength and flexibility. Each model debuts in five colourways: neutral black, brown and beige alongside bold optical white and translucent red, a vibrant lipstick tone echoed in the exclusive case, included with a drawstring pouch that doubles as a lens cloth.
Catherine Holstein's designs and vision exemplify the best of elevated modern classics. Oliver Peoples has always stood for a timeless aesthetic that champions craftsmanship over logos and trends.Rocco Basilico, CEO of Oliver Peoples
The campaign
The collaboration comes to life through photographer Hanna Tveite with model Steinberg and creative direction by Catherine Holstein. The concept captures KHAITE's worldview through the lenses of Oliver Peoples: contradiction, mystery and alter ego, light and dark. Reflections in the lenses mirror the ways we see ourselves and others.
If the eyes are the windows to the soul, sunglasses are the Venetian blinds.
