EYE LOVE ZOOEY
Get celeb pupils with Oliver Peoples.
Celebrity fashion collaborations are always exciting: whether Kate Moss for Topshop, Phillip Lim for UNIQLO, or Alexander McQueen for Target, it always comes as a good surprise (and an immutable plan for weekend shopping).
This season, actress-musician Zooey Deschanel collaborates with eyewear designer Oliver Peoples, making her a "designer," too.
The Bob Dylan-meets-Pink Lady “Zooey” shades give a ‘50s tweak to the classic Ray-Ban design that everyone already has. They come in a full palette of frame colors, from transparent and hot pink to a more sober black (or at least more James Dean), and bear a metal plaque on each side, giving the vintage model a modern edge. And who better than blue-eyed Zooey to inspire, model, and sign -- yes sign, the logo is in the shape of her kissing lips -- the spectacles?

I love Zooey, and I think these are good, but sunglasses limit creativity. There is only so many colors/ways to design sunglasses before you've seen it all before.
If she designed something else, not only would it sell but I am sure it would be pretty damn hip too.

Zooey has a great eye for fashion. I've always admired her style, and I definitely think sunglasses isn't all she can do. I would love to see her branch out into clothing. I would buy it. All of it.

Seriously? For someone who seems to pride herself on creativity and individuality (and cuteness), these are anything but. I expected so much more. Even just anything a little bit extra to make them not look like blatant ray-ban rip offs. And ray-bans are too little too late even. Try to get ahead instead of behind for once.

How do you put a '50s style spin on something that was invented in the '50s?....

i love zooey, but these are exactly the kind of sunglasses i hate-fake ray-ban wayfarers. it's cool that she wants to do her own sunglass line, but at least be original
Megan

Don't get me wrong Zooey is adorable and you can't blame people for trying to make a buck but isn't everyone getting tired of celebrity cum designers? They take covers and endorsements from models and this too? I know celebrities either collaborate with actual designers to create their lines or they just license their names. Becoming a successful is already incredibly difficult, but to compete with celebrities who do not have the education or experience of legitimate professionals in the field seems to cheapen the industry in my eyes. I personally boycott all celebrity named brands. Please support indies people! You can get beautiful original pieces and feel good about helping out an artist who will truly appreciate your support!

Maybe she can sew some polka dot bows on some Herve Leger dresses next.
What is with this chick?
She's a 29-year-old dressed like an 8-year-old. Did I not get the memo as to why we're supposed to be in awe of her?

I like her and all, and the shades are cute, BUT THEY COST $415!!!! Ripoff. Also kind of a disgrace in this economy.

seriously. i was actually kind of excited until the $415 slapped me in the face.
sad.

I am a guy and i will wear her sunglasses! Zooey is just so damn cute and cool! I love her! Her music is great!

Looks like a cheap, unoriginal version of the wayfarers.
love her, but not her new line of sun-glasses.
Bianca

I love Zooey! I think that she's definitely a healthy role model for people to look up to. She can sing, act, model and now design! She's way more than a triple threat! Love the 'napkin' and the appearing kisses when you fog up the lens! Simply gorgeous - both designer and glasses.

um so basically colored ray ban rip-offs for $415? i'll pass.

They are ridiculously expensive! I prefer my olive green wayfarers over this knockoff any day of the week. : )
Aileen
03/13/2009
Since when do knock-offs cost more than the real thing?
Wow. And they managed to make them slightly uglier than the originals as well.

fantastic. I love Zooey Deschannel

Why is Nylon recommending $415 sunglasses to us in this economy? They're cute but WAY overpriced. Even Ray-Bans are cheaper than those!!

i've got a pair of oliver people's glasses (the tycoon style) that zooey wears in the new campaign and i adore them. almost as much as i adore zooey :D

i love zooey with all my heart, but really? i can't afford to buy $415 sunglasses that aren't even that original.
OHMY

They are still adorable

I adore Zooey, but seriously, $415?! That's just RIDONKULOUS.
Then again.. I still wouldn't buy them even if I had money spilling out of my pockets.
