Gentle Monster and Moncler Genius have partnered up to launch a collection of new eyewear and outerwear. The 'Swipe' collection features four eyewear silhouettes, including square, oval, and polygonal styles. The eyeglasses feature 99.9% UV protection lenses that come in a range of different colors. They feature the Gentle Monster and Moncler Genius co-branding on the temple.
The outerwear selection ranges from technical tops and trousers to T-shirts and sweatshirts, all of which are made to fit a monochrome black theme. Moncler’s logo contrasts the dark hue of the recycled fabrics. Other items in the collection include hoods, boots, pouches, and bags that use recycled nylon and polyester.
A pop-up has been opened in Seoul, South Korea at 'HAUS DOSAN' to view the collection and the immersive experience it brings. The collection is available online and in stores at the pop-up from May 5 to May 31.
