Personal work history
Young Andrew Oliver Goldsmith Failed as an Architect.
Unfortunately, his life didn’t get much sexier for some time.
After seeing his son’s aspirations of architecture come up short, Andrew’s father, Charles Oliver offered him an opportunity to work for him. In 1959, Andrew started working for Oliver Goldsmith Eyewear as an 18 year-old. Thinking he’d rise right to the top of the company as a 3rd generation frame designer, Andrew was in for quite a surprise. His apprenticeship for the next five years was anything but glamorous. However, those hard beginnings helped to build the foundation for a man that eventually created over 600 frames that went into production.
