'In the past few months I’ve done a lot of research in the fashion world because I wanted to work with a bunch of designers that are kinda underground, people who aren’t the obvious,' she tells Grazia magazine, providing explanation into her recent transformation.
'My style is very edgy, very daring,’ she adds. ‘I like to take risks – I hate to do the obvious’.
The pop starlet has unearthed the enticing charm of Oliver Peoples, the final destination for celebrity cult eyewear.
Oliver Peoples Zooey has been worn by Kate Hudson, Jessica Biel, Jessica Alba, Blake Lively, Demi Lovato and Reese Witherspoon and here Rihanna wears Oliver Peoples Zooey sunglasses in black, available also in tiger stripe Havana and ivory shell at our Bristol store!

Orchestrating the imagery is internationally renowned photographer and director Autumn De Wilde. Her work has been featured on the pages of Vanity Fair, W, Elle, Rolling Stone, and V Magazine, and her most recent subjects include artists such as Beck, The White Stripes and celebrated fashion designers, Rodarte.
Stella McCartney Spring Summer 2010 Eyewear Line
Stella McCartney will launch a new eyewear line for the Spring Sum
mer 2010 Collection.The designer is now collaborating with Luxottica Group which also licenses eyewear for luxury brands such as Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace and Prada.
McCartney said her goal is to fuse timeless pieces with “edgier, younger, eye-catching styles….For me, it was important to make lightweight, comfortable sunglasses that are not a chore or cumbersome to wear. There are pieces to fall back on and wear any time of year in any place and pieces that will help you draw attention to yourself.”

Oakley Takes Over The Movies
Actor Denzel Washington wears Oakley Inmate sunglasses
in the movie The Book of Eli, where he is a lone hero in an apocalyptic world, protecting a sacred book. The Oakley Inmate was introduced in 2008, and as most Oakley's consists of only the most high-tech materials and lenses, they create one of the most lightweight, clear and protective pair of specs on the market. Part of the Oakley Lifestyle collection, it's a trendy frame that is ideal for sports or casual wear...or for an active career in an apocalyptic world.

The sunglasses that John Travolta wears in the movie The Taking of Pelham 123 are Oakley Square Wire sunglasses. The futuristic looking Oakley sunglasses contain a audio visual presentation of the mission. Unfortunately the glasses have a self-desctruction mechanism, so Tom throws them away.

New Oakley Jawbone
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYF8bYTKvZj0Pmcw1VSG2itkBDN0BQNDqsxO6-soAUYeqIvC5fcWlR9Q-YG-PUP8J9fM7RDr1186gXnCYfQO14ytGVk2Axo7Qqd_mQAWCk4J61X39zDy4Vfw9lmKSNyz7OFIFGKz9ibSGJ/s320/LanceASTC209-429_0.jpg)
Oakley devised a new design that includes original frame architecture for its newest line of sunglasses targeted at sports enthusiasts.
“Jawbone is a milestone in technology, a true breakthrough that provides athletes with an invaluable performance tool,” said Colin Baden, president of Oakley.
The company sponsors many professional athletes including several cyclists. Lance Armstrong, 7-time champion of the Tour de France, is taking advantage of the new Jawbone in this year’s race. “This is exactly what I expect from Oakley — more than just a new benchmark,” said Armstrong. “Jawbone gives me the performance, fit and styling I have come to expect from Oakley for over 20 years now. The simple lens changing lets me match my vision to racing conditions with ease.” Oakley has also released a LIVESTRONG special edition of Jawbone, characterized by the organization’s trademark yellow and black colors, to aid the Lance Armstrong Foundation and its ongoing mission to inspire and empower people affected by cancer.
Oakley riders George Hincapie, Mark Cavendish, Oscar Pereiro, Amael Moinard and Thor Hushovd are sporting new Jawbones at the Tour de France in various color combinations crafted specifically to suit the riders’ tastes. Beginning in September 2009, Oakley plans to introduce a program that will allow customers to create their own color combinations for the sunglasses’ frames and stem sleeves.
The Oakley Jawbone utilizes Switchlock technology to allow easy switching of the lenses to adapt to any sports environment. The nose piece flips up, the jawbone flips down, and the lens slides out with minimal handling. The glasses come with interchangeable lenses available in several shapes and a spectrum of colors.
A new lens suspension system means they virtually float around the orbital space reducing stress and giving crisp optical clarity. The lenses are polarized with 100% UV protection and a hydrophobic coating that repels rain and sweat and prevents streaking on the lenses. They also employ Oakley’s signature High Definition Optics for unbeatable clarity at all angles of vision.
Interchangeable nose piece sizes and specially-crafted components that increase grip with sweat ensure a comfortable fit.
George Hincapie, U.S. pro champion and Olympic cyclist, says these are “the baddest racing glasses Oakley has made.”
