Dear Readers,

Silhouette eyewear expresses the unique personalities of those who wear it. Our eyewear is an important part of their lives and their personal stories.

In this issue of the Silhouette Journal, we want to tell some of these stories and bring them to life for our readers. That’s why we have chosen some very interesting Silhouette wearers to focus on. We are also delighted to present our new dynamic eyewear collections that let the wearer truly shine.

Because of its special appeal, the star of this issue is the Titan Minimal Art frame. Every 50 seconds, a new customer chooses Silhouette’s design icon, making Titan Minimal Art the most popular rimless eyewear in the world. Since 1999, Titan Minimal Art has been a unique success story – one in which each of our eyewear stores around the world has played a major part.

An excellent reason to say ‘thank you’ and celebrate together is the Titan Minimal Art Pulse frame, which incorporates all the best features of Titan Minimal Art. It is light, refined, high-quality and expressive and now offers a very young and fresh design language and colour palette. Rimless and expressive eyewear in line with the pulse of time. Today and in the future.

In this issue, we are delighted to show you the variety and uniqueness of Silhouette and present some of the individualistic, strong, creative personalities who enhance their inimitable style with Silhouette eyewear. Our new slogan refers especially to them: “Because you are unique.”

They lead individualistic lives and are in the limelight. They know their true selves and follow their own paths. They wear Silhouette glasses not only to underscore their unique features but also to express their individuality.

In this edition, we feature ten such indi-viduals from four cities. We set out to portray people who lead self-determined and self-confident lives, people who have made their passions and visions a lifelong project.

They also go their own way when it comes to selecting eyewear that suits who they are and gives them an unmistakable look. Each pair of Silhouette glasses is individual and fully customised to suit the type of personality.

The people that we portray place very high demands on themselves – and on their eye-wear. Meet some very fascinating and inspi-ring people. Ten unique individuals who know their direction in life. Ten individuals who shine.

SHE’S A MOVER

Paula Goldstein Di Principe has a full, fast-paced lifestyle. The hip “it” girl from London is now a very busy cosmopolitan:

a fashion boss in New York today, on the move tomorrow, travelling the world with her own projects. She tried out her new

Titan Minimal Art Pulse at home in London.

P H O T O G R A P H Y : Adam von Mack

PPaula’s pulse is beating fast: “I don’t really live anywhere right now. I travel so much that I decided to give up my apartment in New York recently. One day I’m busy wor-king on styles, the next on my website, and the day after that, I’m working on my book, the Ultimate Scrapbook of America, in cooperation with Katy Perry and Paul Simon. A few of my girlfriends, such as Dree Hemingway and Rebecca Dayan, are also on board. As far as my busy travel schedule is concerned, sometimes I have to fly to San Francisco, then on to Tokyo and back to London, just

to leave again for Argentina and then finally heading for Los Angeles. It’s all very exciting.” But how does she manage it all? What’s Paula’s secret? “I think being and staying authentic is the key to everything, especially now, where everyone is exposed to so many different influen-ces. You have to say openly and loudly what you believe in and stay true to yourself. Otherwise, you won’t get noticed. Your life won’t be perfect every single day, but if you work hard and give your best, you’ll definitely have a good time.”

Paula Goldstein was born on 4 March 1987, in Essex, England.

She left school without any qualifications but managed to get a place at the London College of

Fashion at the age of 17. When she was 20, she took on an assistant position at Dazed and Confused.

It was a time when the print world was just discovering the online

world, and Goldstein was one of first to grasp the possibilities that online publishing offered. When Olivier Zahm of Purple Magazine in Paris discovered her and her

special skills, she moved to Paris and developed the online platform for Purple there. Paula Goldstein remained very visible throughout,

working as a model and being a popular “it” girl on the Parisian and London hipster scenes. In 2014, she left Purple Magazine and founded

her own online travel magazine, voyagedetudes.com. She also works as a fashion director for Refinery29

in New York. To read the entire interview with Paula Goldstein, go to silhouette.com/tma-pulse

Model 4531 in 6060 Lemon/Grey

It’s a paradox: dynamism meets complete tranquility. A gentle, captivating, pulsing wave. That’s what Paula’s new Titan Minimal Art Pulse feels like! Her chosen design is clean, fresh and inspired. Dashes of colour on the ends of the temple arms and on the four delicate lens fixtures cre-ate a subtle but interesting highlight. Available in 12 clean tones and 12 lens shapes, adding a new touch to the Titan Minimal Art. Four of those lens shapes add a little something extra: the cat-eye lens design for women and the bold shapes with refined edges for men. The perfect look for a life style in line with the pulse of time.

The Titan Minimal Art Pulse is a new interpretation of the successful Silhouette icon frame – the Titan Minimal Art. It is the next chapter in the success story of the Titan Minimal Art; a tale of frame design that has been lighting up faces since 1999.

EVERYTHINGTAILOR-MADE

I came to wearing spectacles late in life and with some reluctance. I was in my mid-40s when I accepted that my once-perfect eyesight was letting me

down. When I was driving, road signs a little way off were no longer sharp. Even reading a magazine or a computer screen gave me eye strain. It was time to seek help.

I had no desire to play around with contact lenses and I did not want a surgeon lasering my eyes. The idea of wearing glasses was fine. These were just a tool, an aid, a new necessity, I thought, but then I realised that another element had been added to my fashion wardrobe.

I wear glasses that make a style statement. Having written about fashion for more than 35 years, I am well-known for my style choices. I like being noticed. I like being in something that no one else has. I delibera-tely avoid fashion trends. I don’t need to be told what to wear. I like colour, pattern, texture and accessories – all the elements that allow men to make an individual sta-tement.

In the 15 years or so since I started wearing prescription spectacles, I had at least six pairs of spectacles before I started wearing Silhouette. I am now on to my third Sil-houette style – the SPX Illusion in tortoise-shell. I really like the delicate pattern and the neat shape. And I really like the fact that these are different to what I have worn

before. Another favourite Silhouette that I cannot abandon is my Urban LITE, a thin red-framed pair whose delicate arms glow with a translucent beauty when the light hits them.

And then there are the rimless options. I LOVE wearing them because they are so light and delicate that I forget I have them on. Like the one on the picture, a Silhouette

Titan Accent. I am intrigued and impressed at the near-microscopic engineering of these technical marvels. Nearly invisible, they make things visible to me. What a fas-cinating irony.

Now on my shopping list is a pair of bespoke Silhouette frames. I am very attracted by the idea of creating my own unique pair, which Silhouette’s modern lens-cutting and lens-shaping technology allows. After wri-ting my book on men’s tailoring, Sharp Suits, I became fascinated by the craft of true bespoke tailoring. I now prefer to save my money to afford bespoke clothing, like the jacket, waistcoat and trousers in the photos,

which were made for me in beautiful British cloth by Kathryn Sargent, the London-based tailor who was the first female head cutter on Savile Row. They really are so much bet-ter, more satisfying, than wearing off-the-peg. I can understand exactly why the same attitude would apply to bespoke eyewear. For any individually stylish man (or woman, of course!), bespoke eyewear has to be the next trend to embrace.

Currently I am rotating three, occasionally four, pairs of spectacles. I never wear the same outfit two days in succession, so why should I wear the same glasses? In the mix also are two pairs of Silhouette sunglasses with the necessary prescription lenses, but I wear these almost only when driving. I likesunlight! Occasionally I think that maybe I have too many spectacles, but then I remem-ber I have eight suits I wear regularly, nine sports jackets, 25 pairs of trousers (not counting jeans!), 50 shirts, more than 100 ties, 30 sets of cufflinks, 30 pairs of footwear, about a dozen scarves, five wristwatches… I am actually quite pleased my failing eye-sight will ensure that I have to find some new spectacles every 18 months or so.

Wes Gordon is the shooting star of the New York fashion world. His designs are worn by Michelle Obama, Katy Perry and Gwyneth Paltrow. Gordon’s new sunglass model, Wes Gordon for Silhouette, is a well thought-through piece of design by a young fashion designer and thoughtful artist. And we listened to him carefully.

W E S G O R D O NF A S H I O N D E S I G N E R

The American fashion designer, Wes Gordon, was born in 1987 and grew up

in Atlanta, Georgia. While attending the Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London, he com-pleted internships with Oscar de la

Renta and Tom Ford. In 2009, the year he graduated, Gordon presented his first women’s wear collection under

his own name. Harrods in London and Saks Fifth Avenue in New York imme-diately began carrying his line. A year later, Wes Gordon designs were also available at Bergdorf Goodman and Kirna Zabete. In 2015, Wes Gordon

designed his first sunglass model: Wes Gordon for Silhouette.

How do you define beauty?Beauty is a quality that makes you look twice. Maybe three times. Beauty is unforgettable,

inspiring and uplifting.

What is the difference between style and fashion?Style is something you're born with – a knack for unexpected juxtapositions, an eye for impeccable details, a unique vision. Fash ion is something you can learn. I share with Silhouette a desire to create timelessly stylish pieces that do not go in and out of fashion but rather that can be cherished and worn for years.

Who has been inspiring you most – one of the known designers you were working for (Tom Ford, Oscar de la Renta) or any others?

I was lucky enough to spend time in Oscar de la Renta's studio while Mr. de la Renta was there, and it was a transformative expe-rience. He embodied the romance, drama and passion of fashion and truly dedicated his life to creating beauty. I identified strongly with that love of romance and sophistication, and his appreciation for the entire process of crafting a beautiful gar-ment, with its intended wearer very much in mind, left its mark on me.

Any other sources of inspiration you can name?I’ve always loved film, which is a perpetual source of inspiration. Visconti, Bertolucci and Minghella are a few of my favourite directors. What are your favourite colours? What colours in your opinion are all-time

What was your inspiration for the design of your cleaning cloth for Silhouette?Texture and colour are two of the defining characteristics of my collection. I gravitate toward fabrics and materials that beg to be touched and felt, that make your heart beat a little faster. I’m lucky to work with some of the best mills in the world, creating gar-ments that are celebrations of very special textiles. When designing the Silhouette clea-ning cloth, I immediately knew that I wan-ted to imbue it with a similar spirit of artis-try and depth – traits that can be difficult to

achieve with a digital print. By playing with watercolours and pastels on a heavy textu-red paper, we created a piece of art that was then applied to the cloth. I’m so happy with how it turned out – the fresh green, celadon and jade tones beautifully complement the four colourways of sunglasses.

What is the fascination of sunglasses? With one simple act – putting on a pair of sunglasses – you can transform yourself. You can freshen or update your entire look. You can choose a different pair to convey a sense of femininity, toughness, modernity, vintage flair, high drama or a classic sensibility. They also create an intense focus on the eyes, which, because they cannot be seen, are somehow more alluring. I think that’s a big source of our fascination with sunglasses.

How do you perceive sunglasses – as accessories or real “sun protectors”?Sunglasses serve two important roles: as an

important finishing touch as well as practi-cal protection from the sun. Any accessory without purpose feels dated and not chic. That is an important reason why I feel this collaboration makes sense – that vision of function informing or inspiring great design is one I share with Silhouette.

How do you select your own sunglasses? Which criteria are most important?Above all, the right pair looks good on me

and suits the shape of my face. I’m also very particular about the textures and materials of my glasses, so that plays into my choices as well. The rest depends on my mood and how I feel like looking at the moment.

How many pairs of sunglasses do you have?Seven – a mix of staple pairs I reach for again and again, and a few high-impact styles for when I feel like changing things up.

Where do you find the calm you are known for? How do you de-stress?I thrive on the city energy during the weeks, but on weekends I head upstate to a quiet little farm in Connecticut. The chickens, cows and horses provide the perfect escape. I find it essential to get away and have the sense of perspective that brings.

ART FOR YOUR FACE

“Sunglasses are art for your face,” says Wes Gordon, whose new, special edition Wes Gordon for Silhouette sunglasses are a work of art and undoubtedly already a collector’s item. Sophisticated yet playful, they are somewhat reminiscent of the fabulous Sixties – a vibe Wes Gordon has captured beautifully. No wonder, with Luchino Visconti and Bernardo Bertolucci as two of his favourite film direc-tors. An indulgence in reminiscence – but technologically bang up to date. The Wes Gordon for Silhouette edition is a variation on our classic Titan Minimal Art – The Must Collection. Lightweight and with a very stable structure, these glasses are of the highest quality. The round lenses impress with their two-level design and fine con-trast lines. These sunglasses “give your look a finishing touch,” Wes Gordon says. They are available in four colours: Ocean Blue, Nude Brown, Classic Green and Classic Grey.

The Italian food blogger from Milan studied art communication and management and gained her first professional experience in the world of art and fashi-on. After a six-month stay in Hong Kong, she decided

to turn her passion for travel – and especially her love of cooking – into a career. To her, cooking is an art form in itself. Once back in Milan, she wanted to share her study of the culinary arts with others and started a food blog atragoutfood.com. Her penchant

for Italian food is hard to miss, and she always surprises her fans with new and unusual culinary pleasures.

In addition to her food blog, Virginia writes articles for websites such as salepepe.it and grazia.it, which

are dedicated to food and lifestyle.


You can’t expect to get a good lasagna with a meat-based sauce (the famous Bolognese sauce) everywhere in Italy – because this is a traditional dish from the Emilia-Romagna region, the capital of which is Bologna. Each region in Italy has its own distinct local spe-cialities that are largely based on local ingre-dients. So make sure you don’t order risotto in Tuscany or Bistecca alla Fiorentina in Milan. Try to find out more about which dis-hes come from which regions before you go to a restaurant in Italy.

Regional

REAL ITALIAN FOOD WITH VIRGINIA

Authentic

And then there are a few unwritten rules, basic rules to Italians however, that help you tell whether or not a dish is authentic. For example, pasta has to be al dente, that is, cooked yet firm to the bite, and chicken is served as a second course, never together with pasta, pizza or risotto. Pasta and risotto are not side dishes for vegetable, meat or fish dishes; far more, they are also separate cour-ses. And remember: Italians drink cappuc-cino only at breakfast – never with or after a meal. Order an espresso after a meal and you’ll impress even the Italians!

TASTE OF THE MOUNTAINS

He is one of the best chefs in the world and has been awarded many stars and “chef toques.” In terms of the future

direction of his culinary art, Norbert Niederkofler from South Tyrol is returning to a new simplicity.

P H O T O G R A P H Y : Davide Lovatti

Regional produce is essential to this cu-linary artist, who loves his home and his native soil, and also loves to experiment. The cheese he serves at his Restaurant St. Hubertus, for example, is matured in a bed of hay in the nearby village of Mühlbach. Norbert Niederkofler was

born on 16 September 1961, in Luttach, in the South Tyrol region of northern

Italy. He inherited his passion for cooking from his father. As a young man, he was

a talented ski racer but then chose a career in the kitchen. He and his partner, Christine, have a 5-year-old son, Thomas.

Norbert Niederkofler’s latest project, Care’s, is dedicated to the education of

young talent in the culinary field.

Sometimes you have to go out and explore the world to find out what you really want from life. And that is exactly what Norbert Niederkofler did. At age 17, he left home, the charming village of Luttach nestled in a beau-tiful South Tyrolean side valley, which he felt limited his options. He wanted to become a cook after all, and a “damn’ good one at that”, as he puts it in his usual powerful way. So he took off for Austria, then Germany and Switzerland and finally headed for New York. He worked with top chefs, lived in a Native American community for a while and travel-led to Canada, Chile and Nepal. After 17 years, he finally decided he was ready to go back home.

Once back in South Tyrol, in 1994, he took over a small pizzeria located in Hotel Rosa Alpina in St. Kassian. Within six years, he had transformed it into a Michelin-starred restaurant. Since then, his Restaurant St. Hubertus has been awarded two Michelin stars and four Gault Millau chef toques. Guests come from around the world to expe-rience his heavenly culinary creations – at an elevation of 1,536 metres. Well, you might think that Norbert Nieder-kofler’s extraordinary success story would end here. But in fact, for the 54-year-old, who looks a lot like actor Jean Reno, it is only just beginning. “The most important thing for a cook is to keep your childlike enthusiasm

S

and curiosity,” he says. The quality that makes him the ideal Silhouette ambas-sador is very obvious now: achieving perfection is not a permanent state but a perpetual aspiration. “You have to constantly rethink everything you do.” And that’s exactly what he does. His new path and aspiration have led him to return to simplicity with his new con-cept, Cook the Mountains, which he initiated this year. His aim is to revitalise authentic mountain specialities and fla-vours with a holistic, seasonal approach. He also applies long-forgotten techniques in food production and cooking. In line with his philosophy, he prepares dishes

according to the centuries-old traditions of a mountain farming culture. After all, if he didn’t devote all his inexhaustible energy to his new creations, he wouldn’t be Norbert Niederkofler, would he?! Norbert Niederkofler applies his philoso-phy to his creations with a consistency which parallels that of Silhouette. Developing new, purist creations and bringing them to perfection – that’s his mission. Stars are awarded only to those who reach for them.

HIS TIPS FOR SOUTH TYROL Here are some of the places where Norbert Niederkofler likes to enjoy the quality of life in the region he calls home.

Tauferer Ahrntal Valley is one of the most beautiful areas in South Tyrol. At the end of the valley in Kasern is a small pilgrimage church, Santo Spirito (Holy Spirit), dating back to the 15th century. Its beauty and tranquility give the busy chef new energy.

The spectacular MMM Corones museum designed by star architect Zaha Hadid is located on the top of

Mount Kronplatz at 2,275 metres above sea level. It is the sixth museum project by climbing legend Reinhold Messner.

mmmcorones.com

Michelin-starred Chef Hansi Baumgartner and his wife Edith have been refining the

cheeses of small local dairies since 1994. The two rely on age-old techniques and incorpo-rate special and unusual ingredients into the

raw milk cheeses. Their cheese shop is a veritable paradise for cheese lovers and also

sells chutneys, honey and a host of other delicious accompaniments.

degust.comEven just driving up to the

mountain village of St. Kassian is a wonderful treat, surpassed only by the legendary dishes at the Restaurant St. Hubertus in the Hotel Rosa Alpina. Norbert Niederkofler celebrates authen-tic mountain cuisine to a gour-met standard. He has already

been awarded 2 Michelin stars and 4 Gault Millau chef toques, and the Restaurant St. Huber-

tus is considered by many to be among the best in the world.

This impressive monastery is also famous for its wines, and rightly so. The history of its

wine cellars dates back to the 12th century. Norbert Niederkofler especially recommends

the Praepositus Gewürztraminer, a grape variety that is widely grown in South Tyrol,

where conditions are ideal.

MOON-STRUCK

Robert Böhme and the Part-Time Scientists want to fly to the moon. Thanks to the $750,000 in prize money awarded to them by Google, their chances of doing so have increased significantly.

P H O T O G R A P H Y : Regina Recht

W e visited Robert Böhme at work. The camera is running. Böhme is focused and to the point.

Oh dear! A car has just driven past and interfered with the recording. Yes, this business park in Berlin is a busy place!

How do you like Berlin? Berlin is very cosmopolitan; anyone can be a Berliner. The people are nice and friendly to each other, and there’s a very good atmosphere.

But still you want to leave Berlin and take off to the moon?Yes. We’re working on finding a way to get to the moon as a private entity.

That’s what Google’s call for bids is all about: privately funded space flight to the moon. $30 million are up for grabs to advance space travel. You decided to par-ticipate. Why?The idea to participate came from a good friend of mine. Initially, I wondered why prize money was being offered to fly to the moon. It got me thinking. What exactly is the problem? Why isn’t space travel

moving forward? And what can we do bet-ter? What are the difficulties and how can we resolve them?

In the meantime, you have a whole team working with you to find a solution to pri-vate lunar spaceflight. Who are they?My team consists of scientists and engineers from industry rather than aerospace. They bring a broad base of knowledge to our work. It used to be that high-tech professionals from aerospace were brought into industry; now we’re bringing high-tech professionals from industry into aerospace.

Together with your team, you made it through to the final round of the bidding process and won $750,000. What does a modern lunar spaceflight manager’s everyday life look like?My daily life is crazy, but in a good way. An ordinary workday for me is anything but the usual nine-to-five hours. It’s more like wor-king non-stop with very little leisure time, even when you don’t really feel like it. But, that’s exactly what I love about it!

What does a person need if they’re to survive a crazy schedule like yours? Does it take a “unique” type of person?

GOOGLE’S MOON PROJECTThe Google Lunar XPrize was

launched in 2007 to give new im-petus to spaceflight. The American multinational is offering $30 million to the team that manages to put a spacecraft on the moon that can

cover travel at least 500 metres on the lunar surface and send images back to Earth. The bidding parties

had to present a concept and pay a registration fee of $10,000. In addi-tion, to ensure their undertaking is a privately funded mission, no more

than 10% of the total cost can be funded by their government. To date, milestone prizes have already been awarded to five teams for special

achievements. The Part-Time Scien-tists received $750,000 for their

outstanding simulation test results for the PT moon rover Asimov.

I’m not sure I’m unique. But I’m good at identifying interrelated issues and solving problems quickly. To me, these things are a welcome challenge and not so much an obstacle. And when there are obstacles to overcome, I enjoy rising to the challenge.

Your moon rover is expected to make it to the moon in 2017. Wouldn’t you like to go to the moon yourself ? Only with a return ticket. I don’t really feel a strong urge to go to the moon. I’m interested in spaceflight, but I don’t want to float around in outer space in a space suit. A flight

like that takes a lot, and I don’t know if I could do it. I’m more the type who helps others get to the moon.

What made you choose a Titan Minimal Art? What really matters to you in a pair of glasses?It’s important to me that my glasses are rimless. I want to see and feel as little of them as possible when I’m wearing them or when I see in pictures of myself in them. They should give me a full, unobstructed field of vision, have no heavy frame or edges and not feel constricting.

The 30-year-old systems administrator is CEO of the Part-Time Scientists. In 2008, he used the compensation he

received after a car accident as seed funding to participate in the Google Lunar Xprize competition. He is the driving force behind the project to

achieve the Google Lunar XPrize goal of making privately funded spaceflight to the moon a reality. Now, seven years

later, success is within reach.

THE PART-TIME SCIENTISTS

The Part-Time Scientists (PT Scien-tists) came together on the initiative of Robert Böhme. Their aim is to win

the Google Lunar XPrize competition. Their company’s international network spans three continents, with about 70 members involved, mostly volunteers, and a company headquarters in Berlin. Besides Böhme, the core team inclu-des Karsten Becker, an electronics

specialist, and Jürgen Brandner, an engineer. They regularly conduct video-conferences with Jack Crens-haw from the USA. Crenshaw, now

eighty, calculated the flight paths of the Apollo missions. The PT Scientists’ project is sponsored by AUDI, Nvidia, the Technical University of Berlin, the Vienna University of Technology, the

Austrian Space Forum and the German Aerospace Society (DGLR).

The moon has only one-sixth of the Earth’s gravity, and the small plant growth chamber will reveal whether or not plants can grow under these conditions. A camera will capture the plant growth over a period of time and transmit images back to Earth. This small artificial biotope for plants is part of NASA’s Lunar Plant Growth Experiment. As the trial progresses, school classes will be able to monitor developments and see whether plants grow differently on the moon.

Lunar plant growth chamber

The Vega gravimeter is the immediate successor of the measuring instrument used by the Apollo 17 astronauts to determine the moon’s gravity. The aim is to recreate the old Apollo experiments.

Three millennial discs are to be deposi-ted on the moon as a digital archive of

humanity. Each one has 25 gigabytes (GB) of storage capacity, and the information

on them will be preserved for at least the next 1,000 years. The hope is that rather

than disappearing over time, the accu-mulated knowledge of our human history

may be rediscovered, a long time from now, by someone who was completely uninvolved in generating it but will still

make good use of it.

The world’s knowledge on M DISCS

PAYLOADThe Part-Time Scientists are offering to transport objects of personal, commer-cial or technological value to the moon – as a payload. What would you send to the moon? Here’s what’s on board so far.

Could the moon serve as a potential production site? A small 3D printer will answer that question by col-lecting lunar soil (also referred to as lunar regolith),

melting it and using it to print useful objects. The Part-Time Scientists want to print a small cog and

send images of it back to Earth.

“My marsala-coloured glasses suit me and my personality per-fectly. The design is beautifully subtle, so, to create a contrast, I like to use pink lipstick every once in a while. It’s all right for us

women to show a little more colour behind our glasses – not with too much make-up, though. Personally, I think you get

the most beautiful effect if you emphasise your eyes with strong, natural tones. Depending on whether you are long- or short-

sighted, you might need to accentuate your eyes more or less.

”Miriam is wearing the Urban LITE

Model 1562 in 6060 Marsala

“I need a new pair of glasses for reading and driving and very often for work – so they have to be special, a beautiful accessory. They should definitely be light and not feel heavy when I wear

them, as I want to feel just as comfor-table with them as I do without, ideally

even better. When I feel really good, the people around me can sense it. I’d

like people to say to me ‘You look great. Something’s different about you.’ What I really want is that my glasses suit me

so well that they harmoniously blend in with my overall appearance and people

just notice how great I look.

“IT’S ALL RIGHT FOR US WOMEN TO SHOW A LITTLE COLOUR BEHIND OUR GLASSES, NOT WITH TOO MUCH MAKE-UP, THOUGH”

“I never want to take off my new glasses! I wear them at work and at home. At first,

I wanted a black pair, but the eyewear specialist recommended the Urban LITE in marsala for me. Marsala is an unusual

and fascinating tone. It goes perfectly with my hair colour, and thanks to the delicate

frame, the glasses don’t dominate my face. I show customers who wear glasses what my personal eyewear make-up looks like and what to consider when applying it. My husband loves how I look with my

new glasses.

MAKE-UP TIPS FOR WOMEN WHO

WEAR GLASSES

Lenses used to correct short-sightedness tend to make your eyes look smaller than they really are. To

balance that out, apply a light tone of eyeshadow across the entire eyelid all the way up to your eye-brows. Highlight the middle part of your lid, as this

will make your eyes radiate more. To make your eyes look bigger, you can emphasise the waterlines with

a light-coloured eyeliner. Finish with brown or black mascara to accentuate your eyes beautifully.

Make-up tips for long- and short-sighted people apply for both rimless and full rim glasses. Lenses used for correcting long-sightedness tend to make your eyes seem bigger – but there’s no need to give up the smoky-eyed look. On the contrary: dramatic make-up is especially helpful if you are long-sigh-ted because it tends to set your eyes back a little. This is how it’s done: apply a dark shade of eyeshadow to the lid in the form of a horizontal V. Start at the eyelash line on the outer side and move up into the eye fold. A make-up brush with longer, rounded soft bristles works best for this. Then apply mascara and you’re ready to enjoy your exciting new look.

A fresh complexion is essential for good make-up. Creating a fresh and dewy glow is easy, though. Use a blush or your favourite lipstick to add a glow to your cheeks, blending it in evenly with your fingers. Tip: smile so that your cheeks be-come more prominent and then apply blush. Add a finishing touch of glow to your cheekbo-nes and under your eyebrows. And remember: less is more, no matter what colour your glasses are. Also, with coloured frames, a little contouring to emphasise your facial features is usually a good idea. Try applying a darker blush to the area under your cheekbones to add more definition. You can do this if you wear rimless glas-ses, too, but make sure you use lighter and subtler colours so as not to look as though you’ve used too much make-up.

A beautiful complexion makes all the difference

Long-sightedness

If you wear full rim glasses, you could opt for make-up that is either more dramatic or more natural. It all depends on the type of frame and the colour of your glasses. If the frame is somewhat narrow and dark, then natural, light eye make-up looks best. Otherwise your eyes will appear to blend with the dark frame. Dark eye ma-ke-up is more suitable for big frames. Simple tricks to make your eyes radiate: highlight the outside and inside corners, use a concealer for the area under them and then apply mascara. That’s all it really takes to add a glow to your eyes. With rimless glasses, it’s really important to accentuate your eyebrows because they frame your eyes and face. Now apply light or dark eyeshadow just to your eyelid. The colour you use depends on whether you are long- or short-sighted. (See points 3 and 4 below.) The ad-vantage of rimless eyewear is that you can get really creative with eyeshadow colours.

Whether you wear full rim or rimless glasses, with these make-up tips you’ll always look great.

BRAND VALUE: AuthenticityMODEL: Benedetta BarziniYEAR: 2015

AUTHENTICBenedetta Barzini is authentic! Benedetta: ‘the gifted one’. Her name says it all, and she is true to it in spirit and talent. In 1963, the daughter of an Italian writer was invited to a casting call in New York and the rest is history: she became a top model. She rode the wave of the rising trend, hung out at Andy Warhol’s Factory and was courted by Salvador Dalí. Nevertheless, she always stayed true to her prin-ciples, casting a critical eye even on herself: “My job was to stand still,” she once said. But modelling was never quite enough for her. In 1973, the Italian quit modelling and moved to Milan. However, she remained faithful to the profession and is now a professor of fashion design. Becoming authentic is a process. It involves identifying your very own, timeless self and bringing your inside and outside into alignment with it. It’s a process Silhouette also lives by. “Authenticity is the key,” says Benedetta Barzini. “Each of us is one among millions and yet one of a kind. The best gift you can give to others is yourself!”

Benedetta Barzini, born in 1943, is a model, actress and university professor. In the late Sixties, she was one of the most sought-after models in New York. Harper’s Bazaar considered her one of the 100

most beautiful women in the world. She is wearing a Titan Minimal Art – The Icon in 6054 Burgundy Dreams, lens shape 7580.
