Crafted in Austria during the late 1980s to early 1990s, the Silhouette MOD 1103 captures the bold, confident aesthetic of the era. Its vivid red front contrasts with deep black temples, each detailed with the signature gold “S” insignia that defined Silhouette’s premium collections. Unlike the brand’s more familiar rimless pieces, this model showcases a full-bodied acetate design—rarely produced and now highly collectible.
Lightweight yet substantial, the MOD 1103 represents a distinctive chapter in Silhouette’s design legacy, blending expressive fashion with Austrian precision and craftsmanship.

Relevance
While Silhouette is best known for its pioneering rimless eyewear, the brand’s limited foray into bold acetate models in the late 20th century produced some of its most striking designs. The MOD 1103 exemplifies this creative period—rare, lightweight, and unmistakably stylish.
Deadstock Austrian models in colorways like COL 5009 have become increasingly difficult to find, particularly in unworn condition with custom, optical-grade lenses.
