Mido 2025: Frames of expression

Lucy Patchett and Alice Thébault gathered the latest collections to showcase trending themes and colours from Milan’s annual tradeshow Mido, held February 8-10

Silhouette’s first sustainable collection, Clear Sky, introduces SPX Green+, a bio-circular material derived from organic by-products in agriculture, forestry and aquaculture, reducing carbon emissions by 60% compared to traditional fossil-based materials.

The collection highlights individuality and self-expression with a fresh and diverse range of styles. Featuring eight distinctive shapes, it spans a broad range of styles – from oversized feminine shapes to vintage-inspired pantos, alongside sleek cat’s-eye and timeless rectangular designs.

Despite their bold aesthetic, the SPX Green+ material affords the frames lightweight comfort. Nature-inspired earthy tones – such as soft sand (right) and gentle sage (below) – add to the feeling of lightness and clarity, while translucent colours evoke desert oases, forging a deeper connection with the natural world.
