Piet Mondrian and Neo-plasticism Inspire RayBan's New Color-Block Wayfarer

Take an iconic style and mix in some artistic Dutch flare and you get the Piet Mondiran inspired RayBan Wayfarer.


Mondrian evolved his form of art to consist of white background, upon which was painted a grid of vertical and horizontal black lines and the three primary colors.
RayBan has followed suit and incorporated Mondrian's use of colour and shapes in their exclusive Color-Block Wayfarer. With hues of blue, red, yellow & orange, the patterns look absolutely stunning in the sunlight.


If you're interested in seeing the RayBan Color-Block Wayfarer's in person, they're available exclusively at our Distillery District location, located inside Building 53.

New Tidings from Oliver Peoples!

Oliver Peoples Vintage Collection, following on their successful release this summer, are continuing the revival of classic shapes now in store at Spectacle on Queen Street West!

"The Round" part of the Soloist Collection.

The pieces in the Vintage Collection are recreated using the same meticulous processes and attention to detail that has made Oliver Peoples a leader in the industry.

The MP-2, one of the earliest designs from the company's inception.

Each frame captures the spirit of the original collection and closely resemble the roots of Oliver Peoples 1920's - 1930's Americana, post-industrial revolution aesthetic.

The MP-2 Sun Clip features the same fine detailed metal filigree seen on the frames, detail as only Oliver Peoples can deliver.

MP-2 in Red and Amber colours.

Rounding out the collection is a selection of sunglass variants of the MP-2, each with a polarized lens for the height of comfort and style.
