Federer’s Oliver Peoples collection follows other fashion collaborations with Uniqlo, JW Anderson, and On apparel and shoes after his retirement. But his singature shades, which Federer wore on the red carpets of last year’s Met Gala and this year’s Academy Awards are special, he says.
“They are something I frequently use as tennis required me to chase the sun 80% of my life,” he said earlier this year in an interview with CNA Lifestyle. “Even after my professional career, I continue to travel and be outdoors, so I often have a pair with me.
“We designed the frames with reference to our own personal use. For me, I found I had sunglasses for so many different occasions–sports, everyday and events. It was special to create styles that could be universally worn for any moment.”
