# Organic-Inspired Eyewear Series Gentle Monster Launches Veggie Collection with Foldable Frames By Amy Duong | Published 2026-05-20 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veggie-collection References: [gentlemonster](https://www.gentlemonster.com/us/en/category/collections/veggie-collection)  The Veggie eyewear collection by [Gentle Monster](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2024-collection) includes sunglasses and optical frames designed with shapes inspired by vegetables and organic forms. The designs use exaggerated, rounded, bulbous, and elongated silhouettes that reference produce-like structures. Each model varies in proportion and scale, with differences in lens shape, frame thickness, and curvature, while maintaining a consistent organic design theme across the collection. Several frames in the collection feature [foldable construction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/framery), allowing them to collapse into compact forms for portability and storage. The folding mechanisms are integrated directly into the frame structure, enabling the temples and frame sections to reduce in size without separate detachable parts. The collection includes multiple variations of these foldable and non-foldable designs, all presented under the same Veggie concept line. The campaign accompanying the collection presents the eyewear in staged environments with food-related visual references.
