With this design concept, and minimalism at its heart, Silhouette has crossed many milestones
The success story began in 1964, when Anneliese and Arnold Schmied, armed with their vision and passion, founded the company and the Silhouette brand. Their vision: To create the most beautiful eyewear in the world and to establish a brand that would be synonymous with high quality. Anneliese and Arnold Schmied had the perfect tools for the job- he was a perfectionist with an eye for quality whilst her skills lied with the finances. Pooling their skills together, they revolutionised the eyewear market. Now in its third generation, Silhouette remains a family company through and through.
