🇫🇷 From , I had one of the most inspiring moments wandering the show — meeting Paris Koutsavelis, the creative force behind eyewear.

Paris is redefining the future of eyewear by harnessing the power of 3D printing to craft bold, sculptural frames that blur the line between technology and art. Each design is digitally modeled with organic precision and brought to life through cutting-edge additive manufacturing, resulting in shapes that feel fluid, architectural, and unlike anything else on the market.

Here I am exploring his latest creations — wearable pieces of art that showcase how innovation and creativity can come together to transform eyewear design.

✨ A true Must-See at Silmo, and a glimpse into the future of independent eyewear.

🇫🇷 Right here at , I had the privilege of meeting , whose work in eyewear feels more like sculptural storytelling than just design.

Clarissa embeds historic velvet fabrics — some traced back to the Medici family’s legacy — deep into her acetate frames, carefully treated and cut to the edge with no seams. Then she pushes the boundaries further, layering liquid resin over the acetate to create luminous, tactile surfaces that feel like wearable art.

The result? Bold, expressive frames that carry history and craftsmanship in every curve. Her designs don’t just sit on the face — they inhabit it.

✨ One of the most inspiring encounters at Silmo this season.

Here I am witnessing his latest collection: bold, sculptural, deeply expressive, all inspired by Egyptian culture, heritage, and the flowing spirit of the Nile. Crafted entirely in Egypt, each frame tells a story, from pharaonic echoes and architectural silhouettes to modern reinterpretations of ancient motifs.

Ahmed’s mission has always been to reshape how the world sees Egyptian creativity, infusing tradition with bold innovation.

🇵🇹 From Lisbon to Silmo Paris !

It was such a thrill to meet Portuguese eyewear designer from and get an up-close look at his sculptural eyewear vision.

His designs feel like wearable architecture, organic, bold, beautifully inflated forms that seem to float between the realms of fantasy and function. Each frame is handcrafted in Lisbon under his direction, sculpted from premium Mazzucchelli acetate with intricate internal wirecore and multi-joint hinges for strength and elegance.

What really struck me is how Alexis fuses digital precision with hand-finished craft — exploring new techniques so every frame feels like a small monument to creativity, material, and storytelling. Paloceras speaks in forms, not trends.

✨ A true highlight at , these designs don’t just sit on the face, they become the face.
