NEW YORK—Safilo USA’s Elasta and Emozioni collections will adopt a new name and look in 2015, rebranding as the Safilo Collection. Beginning in January, Safilo USA will introduce 12 new styles including eight new styles featuring the Elasta 80 hinge and four classic styles from Safilo’s international collection.

The eight Safilo styles include the ultra-lightweight Elasta 80 hinge featuring a temple closing mechanism and has been minimized to remain discrete. The styles also include a screwless crossbow mechanism thanks to “skillful welding techniques,” according to Safilo.

The newly rebranded Safilo collection has also introduced the XE 4066 polymer style to the collection. This particular ultra-lightweight material is a resistant plastic that is friendly for this style’s ultra-slim profile. The style is featured in matte and transparent color combinations. The XE 4066 includes adjustable metal nose pad arms for comfort.
