The new Selima x Nico collaboration introduces Le Matt, a classic silhouette reimagined in five vibrant limited-edition colorways. With a perfect balance of craftsmanship, creativity, and Parisian-New York flair, this partnership celebrates the art of eyewear with a fresh, playful twist.
Selima x Nico
A Très Chic Collaboration
That Speaks Eyewear Fluently
Selima Salaun, the creative mind behind Selima Optique, and renowned designer Nico Roseillier have known each other for years. Both raised on a steady diet of French culture and eyewear passion, it felt inevitable that their paths would eventually cross creatively.
“Selima and I have always shared this deep love for eyewear—plus, of course, our French accents. It just felt natural to finally create something together, and this collaboration really reflects that connection. This collab is about celebrating the art of eyewear. It’s about personality, confidence, and that little spark that makes eyewear more than just an accessory.
We wanted to bring our perspectives together in a way that felt fresh and exciting. The stars aligned, and here we are!”
A Classic Frame, Reimagined
The creative journey behind The Matt frames began with a simple idea: take a timeless silhouette and infuse it with unexpected energy. Mixing Selima’s bold, playful aesthetic with Nico’s attention to craftsmanship and storytelling, the design process became an organic meeting of minds.
Each limited-edition frame exudes a certain je ne sais quoi, celebrating the confidence and individuality that great eyewear inspires.
For Selima and Nico, this collaboration isn’t just about creating another collection. It’s about elevating eyewear into an art form, an extension of personal style that tells a story without words.
And in true French fashion, the result feels effortless, authentic, and irresistibly chic.
