When Tom Cruise appeared for the “Collateral” premiere in 2004, it was all about his changeover; not just in the film but also on the red carpet. Worn by the Hollywood star were Oliver Peoples OP-2000 T53 glasses: Black chrome finish has been accessorized with custom-tinted lenses and, dressed in all black, killing it, both today and tomorrow.
The OP-2000 T53 is perhaps the most important example of minimalist design ever, where everything is made of ultra-light titanium handmade in Japan. The Black Chrome finish is very special-elegant but understated with just a little hint of sheen. The drawing is deep enough to engage light, yet it stays just out of full attention. A color that speaks softly yet commands the room. The surface semi-rimless design and thin curved temple unite to present the brilliance of Oliver Peoples in juxtaposing retro with modern aesthetics unto a single frame. This frame does not yell for attention; it gracefully earns it.
In true Cruise style, he had the lenses fitted with slightly greyer tints for Collateral and thereby extended the film’s noirish mood while turning the frames into a statement piece. Married to the custom suit and silver-haired lenses for the movie, the frames contribute to the meticulous and piercing precision-drama both on-screen and off.
The OP-2000 T53 has easily become the epitome of understatement, beyond its red-carpet launching. Giving it a jump start was flexibility, lightweight, and ergonomic-cutting design with sleekness and classic lines-ready for the red-carpet. Adjustable nose pads and the usage of hypoallergenic materials add to the beauty and comfort of this style while catering to discerning users with everlasting design intent.
