    Our favorites from SILMO 2020

    This year, the world optical fair SILMO took place on October 3 and 4 in the Jardin de Tuileries during Fashion Week. With the current health restrictions, the fair was held ‘Outside the Walls’ with a reduced number of exhibitors, but that didn’t stop us seeing some very beautiful designs.
