Accompanying the industry’s recovery by coordinating a series of local professional events with a format suited to the current sanitary and economic limitations: such is the objective of Silmo Hors Les Murs.
The spirit of Silmo Paris will make the scene in Paris, Bordeaux, Rennes and Lyon – as well as in Copenhagen* –, not only through its image and the quality of its participating companies, but also through its extensive features (Silmo d’Or, Silmo Next, Trends by Silmo) and distinctively friendly atmosphere.
For its first Hors Les Murs event, to be held in Paris on 3 and 4 October, 2020, Silmo will take to Le Jardin des Tuileries during Paris Fashion Week.
One week later, on October 12th, the event will take place in the centre of Bordeaux, on the banks of the Garonne at Hangar 14, where the exhibitors of Silmo Hors les Murs will gather with the opticians of Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
On October 19th, Silmo welcomes the professionals of the Grand-Ouest at Le Château des Pères, a historical estate and centre for artistic creation just a few miles from the centre of Rennes.
Silmo Hors Les Murs will conclude its tour on October 26th in Lyon, at an original 1930s industrial building called La Sucrière located among the docks of Lyon-Confluence.
The optical and eyewear industry joins forces with fashion to make a professional event comeback tour.
An exceptional situation calls for an exceptional partnership: Silmo reinforces its cooperation with Who’s Next / Première Classe through the co-location of their respective events. For fashion as for eyewear, Fashion Week is a key time for the two communities to gather.

For fashion as for eyewear, Fashion Week is a key time for the two communities to gather. Stronger together, these complementary worlds will bring a new experience to visitors, who are seeking out solutions for 2021 now more than ever.
