Who would’ve thought that the mighty Roger Federer would try his hand at designing sunglasses? Well, that’s exactly what happened in late April when Federer announced the signing of a lucrative deal with iconic luxury eyewear brand Oliver Peoples. The deal will involve Federer collaborating with the $63 million dollar brand to launch his signature line of sunglasses. While Federer revealed that the sunglasses would be launched in 2024, he didn’t mention any specific time or season. However, through a recent tweet, Federer finally came out with the season during which his diehard fans can expect the launch.

Federer, an eyewear enthusiast, will provide deep insights regarding his eyewear preferences to the expert designers at Oliver Peoples. The Swiss maestro made the announcement in an interview with GQ.

A few days ago, Federer took to Twitter for his customary ‘#AskRF’ session. Over the years, the session has been incredibly effective in bringing Federer’s fans closer to him. Federer wrote, “It’s been awhile! Doing an #AskRF in around 90 minutes at 8pm CET. Drop your questions here!”

Unsurprisingly, the questions came pouring in, and one of them was from a fan who seemingly can’t wait for his sunglasses to come out. The fan asked Federer, “When are your sunglasses launching?” The fan also expressed anticipation for Federer’s signature Oliver Peoples sunglasses using a combination of text and emoji.
