Heralding a new chapter in its space odyssey, Silhouette is proud to be partnering with aspiring female astronaut Alyssa Carson on its groundbreaking Titan Minimal Art collection. Carson is partnering with Silhouette as the premium eyewear brand continues its journey into the cosmos while it supports her dream of becoming the first human on Mars. The 21-year-old visionary relies on corrective eyewear and with Titan Minimal Art proving synonymous with space exploration, she represents the perfect partner for Silhouette.
In an exclusive shoot with celebrated female fashion photographer, Alex Seifert, Carson wears the latest TMA – LaLigne frames. This meeting of two extraordinary talents is part of Silhouette’s campaign to support young and empowered women. TMA – LaLigne itself is a statement in female individuality. A timeless design icon turned into a trendsetter with oversized cat eye frames providing a contemporary, colorful, and chic look that complements Carson’s distinctive style.
The special edition assortment is adorned with neon-colored frames inspired by graphic eyeliner, while the three-dimensional interplay of its Accent Rings offers a fresh look and the appearance of bold, bright eyes. Made from high-tech titanium, Titan Minimal Art made lightness a core feature when it first debuted in 1999. The innovative design was adopted by a leading space agency and has been worn by 73 astronauts on missions totaling 86,833 hours.
Impervious to fluctuations in momentum and G-forces, styles retain a perfect, flexible fit even in zero-gravity conditions. Additionally, the revolutionary hinge-less and screwless design reduce the danger of parts becoming loose in space. The innovative eyewear continues to be the certified standard for the next generation of astronauts, like Alyssa Carson.
