That hour we lost at the weekend means only one thing: British Summertime is officially here and it's time to start thinking all things optical. There's nothing like a  spot of understated eyewear elegance and masters of frameless specs, Silhoutte have just launched their beautifully simple yet classic Crystal Collection. It's with great pleasure we bring you the 411 on the range.

"Eyewear is so important to so many people" says campaign face, Helena Christensen. "In some cases they are imperative to their existence. Glasses have a very special significance in history. Culture and tradition additionally play an important role, as many people – artists, above all else – have also defined themselves using eyewear. This makes the story of eyewear even more exciting to me – it’s very much the story of the person wearing them."

We couldn't agree more. Comprising four prescription and three sunglasses models, the collection utilizes high tech titanium and SPX- refined using Austrian-cut crystals to create shimmering lightweight lenses in shades of grey, apricot  and earth. We at The Real Runway favour the larger wrap-around Dreamwings Shield frames in Grey and the timeless elegance of the Sun Limelight in Apricot.
