Silhouette’s latest collection is certainly extraordinary. It sees the premium eyewear manufacturer from Austria combine two of its innovations, for the first time ever, to create some new shapes that are as stunning as they are unmistakably Silhouette. Made to make a statement, the glasses feature a 23-carat gold-plated metal frame which artfully mirrors the curve of the lenses, attached to the frame at the end piece only. Sitting behind the frame are another Silhouette invention: Accent Rings. Made from wafer-thin SPX®+, an ultralight yet extremely durable high-tech material, these multi-color rings seem to float in mid-air around the lenses. But more importantly, the Accent Rings add contour to the shapes, creating a striking 3-dimensional look. “These sunglasses are all about elegance, boldness and urban cool,” explains Roland Keplinger, Design Director at Silhouette. Meanwhile, new hinge technology that is fully integrated into the lens makes the glasses extremely easy to handle.
