Silhouette SUN 2013. The sunny side of life -The new collection

Dec. 3, 2012 - PRLog -- What started with a vision in 1964 - to create eyewear as an accessory - has grown today to become the leading brand worldwide for lightweight and premium quality eyewear: Silhouette. The most lightweight eyewear in the world is manufactured under this brand in Austria with a love of detail, a high level of craftsmanship, an individual design style, using the very best materials and the latest technologies and exported to 100 countries worldwide.
“Silhouette allows you to make a statement with the right shades, while enjoying life in a light, carefree manner. Silhouette sunglasses do not pinch or squeeze. Lightness is our motto.” That sums up the philosophy of Silhouette proprietors and chairmen Arnold and Klaus Schmied.
Optimum sun protection is a must today. High-energy ultraviolet rays can cause permanent damage to the eyes and blue light can lead to irreversible photochemical reactions. Silhouette sunglasses give 100% UV protection and filter up to 93% of blue light. Polarized filters reduce glare with a sun protection factor equivalent of 60 to 70, if you compare sunglasses with sunscreens. And there is something nice for those who wear glasses: Most of the Silhouette sunglasses are available with prescription lenses.
The Silhouette designer trio has created a special easy-to-wear, subtly light collection for this season. The Silhouette Melody is a must-have. Designer Angela Strecker describes it as the melody of water: “When the waves of the sea come and go, when a river follows its course, when a lake lies placidly in the sun – from time to time you see a couple of drops of water spray. That was the idea behind the two free-flying water drops decorating the temples.” The result can be seen: Trendy sensual shades for today's woman.
Silhouette designer Gerhard Fuchs on the new Silhouette full frame sunglasses: “Silhouette has expanded its range with nylon variants and full frame SPX shades proving that glasses with frames can be very light, offering maximum wearing comfort. The expressive full frame glasses lend the style-conscious wearer an extraordinarily.
Designer Martin Preuer-Lackner is all for the minimalistic sporty aspect of the collection: “Minimalism is foremost in my designs. I tried to keep the line as clear and clean as possible with the new Center Court models. The classy appearance of this model is enhanced by a fine balance of SPX and titanium.”
