THE OLIVER GOLDSMITH® SUNGLASSES CLASSIC COLLECTION

Oliver Goldsmith® Sunglasses have the most influential design heritage of any eyewear company still in production. Since 1926 the iconic British eyewear brand, whose aficionados include Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Michael Caine and Sophia Loren, has been instrumental in opening people’s minds to the idea that sunglasses are a key accessory to any outfit.

The international re-launch of the brand in 2005, led by Claire Goldsmith, Oliver Goldsmith’s great granddaughter, has seen its timeless designs reclaim their rightful place on the shelves of discerning high end boutiques, design stores and retail destinations worldwide.

Oliver Goldsmith has been described by the V&A Museum as the “originator of fashion eyewear”, and “to eyewear design what Vidal Sassoon is to hair and Mary Quant to clothes” . During the first era of the label’s popularity in the 1960’s, the sunglasses frequently appeared in the pages of every major fashion magazine – including Vogue, Tatler, Queen, Vanity Fair and Harper’s Bazaar.

Reborn for the 21st Century, the label has proved equally popular with today’s fashion cognoscenti and has been worn by contemporary trendsetters including Robbie Williams, Kylie Minogue, Jude Law, Jessica Simpson and Gwyneth Pal­trow.

The Oliver Goldsmith® Sunglasses Classic Collection continues to grow with over 30 styles now available as Claire Gold­smith continues to release styles from the family private archive. By taking the exact designs from previous collections and combining them with the world’s most skilled production partners, Goldsmith remains true to the core values of her family business.

The Oliver Goldsmith® Sunglasses Classic Collection is stocked in:
Harvey Nichols, London SW1 – 020 7235 5000
Browns, London, W1 – 020 7514 001

WE CAN WORK IT OUT...DOWNLOAD ORANGE’S NEW AND IMPROVED GLASTONAV TO FIND YOUR WAY AROUND THE GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL.
Orange GlastoNav launches on the iPhone for the first time
Orange today announced the launch of their new and improved Orange GlastoNav application, a free mobile app, which enables festival-goers to plan which artists they want to see at Glastonbury and navigate around the festival using the indispensable GlastoNav map. For the first time ever, an Augmented Reality version of GlastoNav will also be available for the iPhone during the week of the festival.

The free mobile service is now in its third year and has evolved in response to feedback from last year’s users as well as Orange’s twitter followers. This feedback has led to two versions of the application being produced, the java app which will be available across a range of handsets and the Augmented Reality iPhone application.

The Augmented Reality iPhone application engages the camera function on your iPhone to create a visual guide to the entire festival. Information is layered over the picture shown from your viewfinder, helping users navigate around the 1100 acre site. Festival goers will also be able to see who is playing ‘now and next’ on each stage and view the full artist line up for the duration of the weekend from the Guardian Guide. Essential festival facilities such as toilets, information points, cash machines and bars will appear as pop-ups on the map with ‘distance from’ indicators. In addition to these existing locations users will also be able to add their tent location to the map to create a GPS tent locator, ensuring they can always find their tent at the end of the night. Finally, the iPhone version of GlastoNav will also feature a 2D map with zoom functionality.

The Java application has evolved to become even more user friendly for 2010 by concentrating on the map and Guardian Guide line up functionality. Compatible across a broader range of handsets, Orange GlastoNav will feature a fully interactive festival map with stage line ups, pop up indicators showing who is currently onstage, bar opening times and guides to cool places to visit, higher spec phone users will also be able to zoom into the map. For those looking to discover new music across the weekend the app will feature a ‘Q Recommends’ section featuring the top established and up and coming bands per day.

Andrew Pearcey, Head of Sponsorship at Orange UK said: “GlastoNav is the best way to find your way around the Glastonbury festival site and make sure you and your mates don’t miss a thing. The brand new, innovative Augmented Reality app will also ensure iPhone users can find out a range of information from where the nearest toilet is to where they pitched their tents. The java app has also evolved for 2010 to ensure improved functionality and ease of use”

GlastoNav is available to download from today by texting the shortcode GLASTO to 65101 for the java application. The Augmented Reality iPhone version is available from the Apple App Store during the week of the festival.

For those looking to recharge their batteries on site, the Orange Chill ‘n’ Charge area will be returning for the duration of the festival with more charging points than ever, exciting new interactive elements and will also feature stripped back acoustic performances from established and up and coming artists.
