A new manifesto. A new visual embodiment. The same ambition: to be the starting point for major transformations across the global optics and eyewear industry.
“The season starts here” – with this powerful signature, SILMO Paris reaffirms its role: a place where ideas emerge, trends are anticipated and the future of the sector takes shape.
SILMO Paris is that strategic moment when the entire global optical industry gathers, at the beginning of each autumn, to set the tone for a new season.
More than a show: a landmark. An accelerator. A space where creativity, expertise, technological innovation and forward-looking vision intersect.

Innovation, but also Creation
While 2026 marks a major technological acceleration, SILMO Paris reaffirms its role as the international stage for optical creation.
Eyewear now goes far beyond its primary function: it embodies an aesthetic, asserts an identity and expresses a vision. Design, materials, creative expressions, emerging influences — SILMO Paris stands as the international observatory of trends. Each edition unveils collections and creative approaches that leave a lasting mark on the industry.
At the crossroads of innovation and creation, SILMO Paris sets the pace and brings together, in one place, everything that will shape the coming season.
In 2026, more than ever, it all starts here.
Join SILMO Paris 2026 from 25 to 28 September at Paris Nord Villepinte.
