Silmo: Stylish shapes from Paris

Among the newer eyewear brands was first-time Silmo exhibitor Junk, which started in 2019 with the ethos of responsible creativity by using waste materials to design high-quality eyewear.

The brand trialled fishing nets and plastic waste before partnering with Econyl and using its regenerated nylon material.

Styles are influenced by the trend for 1990s and 2000s fashion, including sculptural models that are smoothed and softened to create the effect of waves on the frame.

Model Jang, pictured above, is Junk’s riff on the classic clubmaster frame, which is given a futuristic-pop look and features real silver on the J branding.
