1964: A Vision is Born

Anneliese and Arnold Schmied

In 1964, a young couple – Anneliese and Arnold Schmied – introduced the world to the first Silhouette model: the frames that launched an eyewear institution. Their pioneering approach led to a transformation in eyewear, elevating it from a mere visual aid to a coveted fashion accessory.
