Silhouette’s The Sky Brings New Color And Character
Silhouette expands its long-standing rimless design family with The Sky, a collection that brings a fresh perspective to modern minimalism through a palette of translucent and solid colors, proven materials, and directional fashion-focused proportions. As fashions shift towards lighter silhouettes and more deliberate self-expression, this collection introduces translucency and atmospheric colors to an eyewear category traditionally seen as purely technical.
Designed for all-day wear, The Sky collection builds on decades of rimless expertise, reflecting a growing shift towards expressive lightness, while embracing a more playful approach to luxury minimal eyewear.
The collection comprises 14 models, including two highlight shapes with grooved color accents in Caramel and Teal. These sit alongside classic rimless designs, introducing sharper contours and more visible color detailing within the refined minimal structures. Responding to the ongoing rejection of austere neutrals, a broad color palette extends across translucent, opaque matte, and shiny finishes, with tones such as deep fuchsia, soft rosewood, pine green, and warm neutrals offering variation and clarity of expression.
At the centre of the collection are ultralight SPX® Green+ temples, shaped in a balanced, tapered profile that reinforces the sense of lightness. This is paired with an S-Titanium bridge and trim, combining flexibility, durability, and precise fit. Translucent colors shift subtly in the light, extending the material’s role beyond structure into visual effect. A proven snap hinge and adjustable, shortable temples ensure long-term performance and adaptability.
Masterfully engineered and handcrafted in Austria—where both frames and lenses are created under one roof—Silhouette seamlessly fuses precision engineering, visionary design, and bespoke lens innovation. The result: a refined expression of Austrian craftsmanship, where lightness meets luxury in its purest form.
