No one who loves hats can resist the wonderful tale of Philip Treacy, the Irish hatter. Born in County Galway to a large family (seven brothers and a sister), Treacy was taught to hold a sewing needle by his village school teacher. With the needle, he has gone on to free the hat from the dictums of fashions and trends, creating sculptures for the crown out of veils, feathers, artificial flowers, straw and gauze, as well as shadows and illusion. "I think and hope I have changed the way we look at hats," he reflects. "They are no longer symbols of conformity but highly individual acts of rebellion. I am constantly challenging the perception of what a hat should be and what role it should play."

Beginning with a small selection of frames salvaged from an estate sale in the late 1980s, Oliver Peoples has become synonymous with trendsetting in luxury optics. The golden age of Los Angeles, the golden hour on Sunset Boulevard, the mid-century modernism for which L.A. is so well known: These are the essential elements of the City of Angels's own luxury brand. Each frame is created in the design studio in West Hollywood, California, and handcrafted in Italy and Japan. With a wink to the worlds of fashion and film, Oliver Peoples is on the cutting edge of tastemaking
