The Silhouette company was founded in 1964 with an idea to design and develop eyewear that was not only functional in correcting faulty vision, but also as a fashionably designed and stylish accessory suited for daily wear. A business operation which began with only one designer and five staff, Silhouette eventually developed the Silhouette eyewear range to extend from a fashion accessory to one that expressed personality, quality and exclusive functionality as well. Silhouette adopted high-quality production techniques to manufacture its eyewear, at the same time creating extraordinary designs. All this was put together in an effort to extend the standards of fashion eyewear for the future.

Styles of Silhouette Eyeglasses

Silhouette has developed the Titan Art models, lightweight, exceptionally resilient and practically imperishable. All these designs are aligned with Silhouette’s objectives to create Silhouette eyeglass designs that are balanced between eyewear functionality and form or shape. This goes to show that Silhouette believes that eyewear design is a combination of art and science. With this, Silhouette eyewear designers are able to develop comfortable and fashionable eyewear, some of which are even adopted by models on the catwalk and fashion magazines.

The ranges of Silhouette eye glasses include the Titan Minimal Art series, rimless frames that are also lightweight, comprising of lenses that are narrow in shape and made suitable for wearers with wide distances between their eyes, to classical oval shapes and almond shapes made mostly for women with thinner face profiles. This series also include bold and trendy designs for men, and even oblique unisex models to suit both men and women wearers.

Another Silhouette eyeglass range is the Elegance range, 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 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 color 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 delicacy and sturdiness.
