SPX APPEAL
Silhouette has unveiled four new SPX Illusion Full Rim styles—two for men and two for women—all in an array of fresh color combinations with gradient effects. The full rim models—which weigh only 5 grams—offer comfort and adaptability. Silhouette’s patented SPX material can create the illusion of wood and horn, and offers shape stability, color brilliance, and durability.
The two men’s styles are sleek, slender, and modern, with an architectural vibe, and come in the bold new colors of black gradient, indigo, khaki gradient matte, and walnut gradient. The two new women’s styles include an exaggerated cat-eye and sharper, more defined feminized rectangle. The new women’s colors include mauve gradient, amber, mint gradient, and rosewood gradient.
The suggested retail price for SPX Illusion Full Rim styles is $250.
