You can’t get much more Hollywood-fabulous than lunch at Robert Evans house in Beverly Hills. Invite some synchronized swimmers to perform in the pool and…well, what’s better than fabulous? The occasion: the launch of a new capsule line of sunglasses inspired and designed by Evans for Oliver Peoples. “I’ve worn sunglasses for ages,” said the producer, who spent most of the afternoon in his bedroom, receiving guests while flipping through an issue of Variety. “They give an air of mystery—I know what you’re thinking, but you don’t know what I’m thinking.” Getting the frames for the new collection just right required considerable patience, however: “It took less time to make The Godfather.”
