"  Photo: Oliver Peoples Oliver Peoples is ringing in its 25th anniversary in the eyewear business with a set of retro-inspired, special edition frames\u2014one sunglasses style, one eyeglasses style. Both are based on a sketch the brand&amp;#039;s founder and creative director Larry Leight originally did in 1989\u2014one that he rediscovered after delving into his personal archive of design notes, on the hunt for something special. &amp;quot;I drew the sketches in 1989 just a few years after we first launched,&amp;quot; Leight told ELLE.com. &amp;quot;I always really liked the design, but it just wasn&amp;#039;t quite right for what we were doing at the time. We had a very intellectual, vintage aesthetic and these styles felt a bit more modern.&amp;quot; Now, they feel just right, he said. &amp;quot;Not only do they feel classic and timeless, but they combine two categories that we have become known for over the past 25 years\u2014thick, bold acetate styles and vintage-inspired designs.&amp;quot;  The XXV-RX and XXV-S styles, as they&amp;#039;re called, launch next month at the brand&amp;#039;s stores and select retailers for $340 to $430. Each is available in five colorways and features custom filigreed metal finishes. &amp;quot;The filigree detailing on the end piece and retro plaque on the temple gives the iconic shape an &amp;#039;Oliver Peoples&amp;#039; touch,&amp;quot; Leight explained. And they come in packaging based on that used for the first Oliver Peoples collection: a silver case embossed with the brand&amp;#039;s original plaque, lined with blue velvet.
