The campaign was shot in "Penthouse 29" at the Chateau Marmont, a California hotel that opened in 1929. Renowned model Ollie Edwards was once again chosen to star in the campaign. The brand also features Camille Rowe, a rising star in the fashion industry, a French-American model and actor. Spring 2023 is themed around the intimacy of couples and the invisible connection between them. Elegantly dressed in pieces from the new Oliver Peoples and Brunello Cucinelli collections, Rowe and Edwards enjoy a quiet moment by the pool before getting ready for a night out on the town with friends.


Located on Sunset Boulevard, Chateau Marmont is shrouded in legend, a place that makes every luxury feel within reach. The Southern California location is the perfect backdrop to unravel the story, following Oliver Peoples x Brunello Cucinelli's third campaign, which was shot in Lake Como, Italy, in Fall 2022. Both Oliver Peoples and Brunello Cucinelli are committed to staying true to their historic roots, so for both brands, the campaign locations are not just "beautiful places," but locations that reflect the essence of their brand identities.


The Spring 2023 collection will feature "Cesarino-M" and "Cesarino-L," two standout pieces from the fashion show. Both styles feature metal frames, pantos-silhouette lenses, and Oliver Peoples' first-ever removable side shields. The "Cesarino-M" is available in three colors: antique gold (brown lenses), silver (persimmon lenses), and brushed gold (marine gradient lenses). Regardless of the color, the distinctive side shields feature a perforated pattern. In contrast, the "Cesarino-L" features smooth, genuine leather side shields. This style is available in brushed silver and sequoia leather (G-15 lenses), antique pewter and earth leather (shale gradient lenses), and gold and sequoia leather (carbon gray lenses).


All Cesarino models feature the Oliver Peoples and Brunello Cucinelli bracelet logos. Additionally, one temple tip features the Oliver Peoples logo, while the other features the Brunello Cucinelli logo. The Cesarino models also feature vintage-inspired nose pads for exceptional comfort, a feature also featured in the "Marsan" and "Luisella" models, which will be released in the Spring 2023 collection. Made in Japan, "Marsan" features a lightweight titanium construction and double bridge that supports a soft, square lens silhouette. Available in neutral colors, "Marsan" lenses are available with three types of photochromatic lenses (photochromic lenses that change color in response to UV rays), as well as gradient and gradient mirror lenses. "Luisella" offers classic colors and an elegant shape that flatters any face shape. Featuring a slim acetate front and modern metal temples, these frames feature functional and stylish pins. The temples of both "Marsan" and "Luisella" models are adorned with rising sun filigree.



This season's main item is not only the “Mister Brunello”, which was specially designed for this collaboration. The “Mister Brunello Folding” is also a notable item not to be missed. "Mister Brunello" is a vintage LBR frame available with four lens options: Green Photochromatic (photochromic lenses that change color in response to UV rays), Chrome Amber Photochromatic, 362/Horn & Chrome Olive Photochromatic, and Black & G-15. "Mister Brunello Folding" features hinges at the bridge and temples for compact folding and easy storage. This technical mechanism utilizes reinforced pins on the temples, further enhancing the sleek design. This style is available in EI Mirage Tortoise (shale gradient lenses), Black (chrome olive Photochromatic lenses), and Rain Tree (marine gradient lenses). "Mister Brunello" and "Mister Brunello Folding" feature custom-designed temple tips. The front and temples also feature plaques exclusive to the Oliver Peoples x Brunello Cucinelli collaboration.

Completing this season's collection is the vintage-inspired "Peppe," featuring a keyhole bridge and angular lenses in rich acetate colors. "Peppe" also features Rising Sun filigree and temple tips with a custom-designed form exclusive to the Oliver Peoples x Brunello Cucinelli collaboration.

Items from the Spring/Summer 2023 collection will be available at brunellocucinelli.com and at authorized Oliver Peoples and Brunello Cucinelli stores.
