Luxurious Eyewear Releases

Maison Margiela Launches Another Collaboration with Gentle Monster

— March 11, 2024 — Fashion
Gentle Monster and Maison Margiela mark the next chapter in their collaborative journey by unveiling their gender-neutral eyewear collection. Comprising 17 pieces, this collection showcases avant-garde, temple-less designs, frames enveloped in luxurious leather, and the distinctive touch of four white stitches.

The MM101 and MM102 models emerge as the epitome of futuristic, organic design. Notably, these models come with silver Glam Slam cases, distinguishing them from the rest of the collection, which is presented in classic white cases.

The collection spans ten sunglasses and seven eyeglasses and explores the interplay of memory, instinct, and gesture in fashion. Crafted from acetate, these pieces are available in a spectrum of signature colors, including black, white, grey, cream, clear, and tortoiseshell. Select styles feature leather finishes in hues of black, ivory, khaki, and blue.

To celebrate the launch, five immersive activation spaces will be unveiled globally. These spaces will offer visitors an unparalleled sensory experience that encapsulates the collaboration's futuristic ethos.
