Silhouette

Silhouette Philosophy

“Perfection is attained, not when anything more can be added, but when nothing more can be taken away.” – Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

 

It was announced this week that Patrick Dempsey will continue as the face Silhouette’s iconic rimless eyewear into 2014. He was on location in Hollywood for a second time for Silhouette’s An Icon for an Icon campaign, shot by Peter Lindbergh. Lindbergh, an unquestioned icon himself, said of Silhouette,

“I am just so impressed by how light and comfortable the glasses are. The style just appeals, and the appeal of minimal design is something that endures.”

Silhouette’s trademark rimless aesthetic means you see things without restriction, while people see you as open and friendly with no heavy frames obscuring your appearance. The idea behind the video and photoshoot cooperation is that you see Patrick in a relaxed moment, as he really is. Silhouette calls this LITESTYLE.

Patrick Dempsey:

“I’ve had a great experience working with Silhouette, and I love their glasses. I love the reading glasses that I have on now, and also their sunglasses – which I wear all the time. They are great when I’m driving…when I’m out in the road car.”

Minimalist, Iconic, Perfect

Silhouette frames are super lightweight and comfortable. They do not distract from the face but grace it subtly as no other eyeglasses could. The frames are sturdy and classic. Optical Illusion will help you to choose the exact shape of lens that is most complimentary to your face. Wearers of Silhouette will often tell you that they have been wearing a particular pair of Silhouette glasses for YEARS!

LaFont ~ France’s Gift to Eyewear

optical.illusion.lafont3

When asked recently to write about trends at the forefront of eyewear, we knew we had to write about color. Color is the biggest trend in eyewear and LaFont does color better than anyone. 80% of the colors presented in the LaFont collection are completely exclusive by the creation of patterns or the selection and editing the particular themes. Each frame is a celebration of design and color. LaFont offers more than 200 colors, each with unique pattern and unmistakable French style.

These sunglasses and eyeglasses are statement makers for people who know and love who they are! There is a slight sense of whimsy yet the designs are so meticulously crafted, so elegant, that you must also take them seriously.

“SINCE 1923…

August 1923, LOUIS LAFONT opened an optical shop in the Madeleine district of Paris.

4 generations…

August 1979, Philippe LaFont creates the company to distribute the exclusive LAFONT frames worldwide.
30 years later, the brand is still associated with strong values, and timeless style.

Our customers love the drama of French eyeglass maker LaFont. LaFont’s laser etched colorful sunglasses are hugely popular.

The Lafont style…
The heritage of French lifestyle, the celebration of Parisian elegance, and discreet luxury, together with technical knowledge, and only the use of highest quality materials, is the essence of Lafont.”

 

We just placed an order for 200 new LaFont frames to feature during the holidays. Please stop in and say Hello!
