Extraordinary Eyewear Designs by Silhouette

The Silhouette Company was created in 1964 with one idea in sight. That idea was to design and develop eyewear and frames that were not only functional in correcting poor vision, but also as a fashionably designed and stylish accessory suited for everyday wear. A business operation which began with only one designer and a staff of five, Silhouette eventually created the Silhouette eyewear range to extend from a fashion accessory to one that expressed quality, individual personality and exclusive functionality as well. Silhouette developed ingenious, high-quality production techniques to manufacture and distribute its frames, at the same time creating extraordinary designs. All this was combined in an effort to raise the bar on the standards of fashion eyewear industry as a whole. Silhouette has developed the Titan Art models, which are lightweight, exceptionally resilient and practically indestructible. All of these designs are in perfect harmony with Silhouette's aims to create Silhouette frame designs that are balanced between eyewear functionality, form and shape. This technique is aligned with Silhouette's philosophy that eyewear design is a combination of art and science. With this, Silhouette eyewear designers are able to develop comfortable, fashionable eyewear, some of which are worn by models on the catwalk and in fashion magazines.

 

The range of Silhouette eyewear includes the Titan Minimal Art series, which include classical oval shapes and almond shapes made mostly for women with a thinner face profile. This series also include bold and trendy designs for men, and even oblique unisex models to suit both men and women. Some of the latest designs creating a splash from the Titan Series include Titan Edge, Titan X and Titan Next Generation III. The Minimal Art line offers lightness, durability and overall comfort, which make them a perfect choice. Such a perfect choice, that this line of frame has become the official eyeglasses of NASA. So, if they are good enough for astronauts, they must be good enough for us land dwellers.

 

Colorama, Dimension, Embrace, Enviso, Elegance, Class and TMA - The MUST Collection are other high-tech designs delivering on the high Silhouette standard and ones to further research. New models for both men and women are not only light, robust and firm but are comprised of various designs and materials to suite all tastes, contours and need. For example the Elegance range are rimless glasses designed with an added charm and sophistication with deeper lenses to suit different tastes and face types. The Casual Silhouette eyeglass range on the other hand, presents metallic rimmed glasses that highlight a simple and yet uncomplicated style with different models made for men and lady wearers.

 

Silhouette eyewear designs have proven to move with the times from its birth in the sixties to now in the new millennium. During the sixties, when curving butterfly frames were popular, Silhouette introduced their philosophy of frames as a fashion statement. In the seventies, Silhouette evolved to increase the frame diameter, with its trendy Futura Silhouette eyewear also has a collection with extra large frames and a variety of colors. The eighties was a decade where designer fashion was trendy. At this time too the Silhoutte eyeglasses ranges were growing with more variety and colors added. The nineties brought about elegant, clear-cut and casual designs to Silhoutte eyeglasses. It was during this period too that an Italian designer who was brought in introduced aerodynamic curves to Silhouette eyewear. Finally, in the new millennium, Silhouette initiated their Titan range of rimless models, which in addition to its light and unique features, also boasted of minimalism and sturdiness.

 

"Silhouette became a part of my life 19 months ago. I have been wearing glasses for over 20 years. It was not until I tried on my first Silhouette that I truly understood the meaning, or the connection of lightness, minimalism and fashion. I always thought I had to have a chunky, heavy plastic frame on my face to be "in style". Now I know different! When wearing a Silhouette I have style, function and fashion all in one!! I will NEVER wear anything but a Silhouette! Silhouette helps me see my world more clearly." -- Chris, United States
