Something New Is Coming to SILMO Paris 2026 — And We Can't Wait to Show You
Paris is two weeks away.
From September 25 to 28, 2026, Albert I'mStein will be at SILMO Paris 2026 — the global reference point for the entire eyewear and optical industry, held at Paris Nord Villepinte. We will be in Hall 7, Stand H100, and we are bringing something we are genuinely excited about: a brand new collection, developed specifically for this moment, built entirely around the brand we have been building since day one.
Thirteen new frames. A lot of color. Some surprises. And the same FUN & HAPPY philosophy that has taken us to over 40 countries and into more than 1,000 independent optical stores worldwide.
Attending SILMO Paris 2026? Book an appointment with us at Hall 7 / H100 and we'll walk you through the full collection in person.
Here is a first look at what is coming.
Why SILMO Paris is where it matters
SILMO Paris is not just another trade show. It is the place where new collections are unveiled, business connections are made, and eyewear trends for the season ahead are set. This year's edition brings together nearly 34,000 visitors, 950 exhibitors, and professionals from 150 countries — all under one roof in Paris, all looking for the same thing: what is genuinely new and genuinely worth carrying.
The prestigious SILMO d'Or awards, judged by a jury of design and industry figures, are widely regarded as the most prestigious awards in eyewear — which is why SILMO pulls in premium and boutique brands that skip other shows entirely.
For a brand like Albert I'mStein — built on distinctive design, strong color identity, and frames that are easy to recommend and impossible to ignore on a display — SILMO is the right room to be in. It has been for us for years.
This September, we are bringing our most complete and considered collection to date.
Introducing the SILMO Paris 2026 New Collection — 13 New Frames
Every frame in this collection was designed with the same principle we apply to everything: clean at first glance, full of character on closer inspection. Playful color combinations, thoughtful details, and materials — acetate and titanium, often together — built for everyday wear by people who want their glasses to mean something.
Here is every new model making its debut at SILMO Paris 2026:
ALBERT 4 & ALBERT 14 — Geometric Titanium + Acetate
Two new additions to the Albert family. The Albert 14 is our bold octagonal statement — a geometric titanium + acetate combination in five colorways including electric yellow, deep burgundy, tortoiseshell and hunter green. The Albert 4 offers the same architectural sensibility in a slightly smaller, more contained shape, with strong colorway combinations including forest green/red and a classic tortoiseshell.

ALTRIC — Rounded Square, Maximum Color
A softly rounded square in acetate + titanium, available in five colorways: matte grey, electric blue, tortoiseshell, fuchsia + amber, and a tortoiseshell with blue gradient. The kind of frame that looks subtle in the display and unmissable on a face.
BELLINI — Textured Cat-Eye with Drama
Named after the cocktail, the Bellini is a textured acetate cat-eye with serious presence. Five colorways including deep black/green, red/pink, amber/black, purple and teal — each one using the brand's signature striped texture across the upper brow.
BUTTERFLY — Oversized Cat-Eye Sunglasses with Butterfly Hardware
One of the hero pieces of the collection. A large, dramatic cat-eye sunglasses frame in pure acetate with gold butterfly-shaped hardware details at the corner of each lens and on the temples. Six colorways including dark tortoiseshell/mint lenses, amber/yellow lenses, pink/red gradient, teal/pink, purple/red gradient and amber marble/brown lenses. The Butterfly makes a statement before the wearer says a word.
GIWA & GIWA_S — Browline Reinvented
Two sizes of the same bold browline concept. The Giwa (48mm) is the full-size version — thick acetate brow in striking two-tone combinations over a metal wire lower rim. The Giwa_S (43mm) is the compact sibling. Both come in five colorways with unexpected color contrasts: black/green, blue mosaic/neon green, pink/gold, leopard/red and multi-tortoiseshell.
ISLAY_S — Bold Striped Acetate Square
The frame that stops people on the show floor. Islay_S uses heavily textured striped acetate — vertical pin-stripe-effect patterns across the full front — in five dramatic colorways: black/white stripes, red stripes, leopard/red, teal/yellow and a blue tortoiseshell/purple fade. Acetate + titanium, 48mm.
MADAM — Sharp Cat-Eye with Butterfly Hardware
The sharper, more directional counterpart to the Butterfly. Madam is a pointed cat-eye optical frame in pure acetate with the same gold butterfly hardware detail, available in five colorways including glitter black/amber, leopard/red, dark green/blue fade, classic tortoiseshell and a fully transparent crystal version.
MOSS — Round with Personality
A compact round frame in acetate + titanium with a hidden signature: an engraved "Have a FUN day" message on the inner temple. Five colorways including black/cream, checkerboard black/white (the showstopper), multi-tortoiseshell/teal, matte grey and deep purple.
NOD — Two-Tone Round with Hidden Message
Similar DNA to Moss, but slightly larger and with a bolder color contrast between outer and inner frames. Five colorways — black/yellow, teal/brown, tortoiseshell/blue, stripe/green, and blond tortoiseshell/red. The temples on Nod carry the engraved message "SO HAPPY / TO SEE YOU" — a detail that only reveals itself when the wearer takes the glasses off.
PATINA — Classic Square with Gradient Depth
A more understated silhouette in the collection — a well-proportioned rectangular frame in acetate + titanium with gradient colorways that add depth without loudness. Five options: black/tortoiseshell, dark stripe/brown, sand/tortoiseshell, dark brown and deep green/crystal.
RABAT — Bold Square, Maximum Texture
A compact square in heavily textured striped acetate — similar stripe texture to Islay_S but in a squarer, chunkier silhouette. Five colorways: green/brown stripes, blue stripes, red/yellow, teal/orange stripes and a full crystal/blue version. At 43mm, it wears bold without overwhelming.
