The Mugler x Gentle Monster collaboration marks the intersection of high fashion and bold eyewear. This unique partnership combines Mugler’s iconic heritage and modern spiral motifs with Gentle Monster’s renowned expertise in eyewear design, resulting in two striking styles. The collection includes two designs, Spiral 01 and Spiral 02, each showcasing the artistic flair characteristic of both brands.
Spiral 01 is inspired by Mugler’s ‘Fourmis’ eyewear from the 1997 Les Insectes haute couture collection. It reinterprets classic elements with a bold, futuristic twist. Spiral 02 features contemporary embossed line details and a chrome logo, offering a sleek and sophisticated look. Both designs highlight the brands’ dedication to pushing the boundaries of design. Each piece comes in a modern, distinctive package with organic forms, emphasizing a visionary aesthetic.
Creative director Theo Liu has brought this collection to life through a campaign featuring Colin Jones and Georgia Palmer. The campaign pays homage to visual pioneers like Helmut Newton and Manfred Thierry Mugler, capturing the essence of both brands.
The Mugler x Gentle Monster collection will be released on July 18th, available both online and offline, with special launch events in Seoul and Shanghai. These temporary spaces will feature dynamic and immersive experiences representing Mugler and Gentle Monster. This collection goes beyond eyewear, symbolizing the fusion of high fashion and bold design, making a significant impact in the accessories market.
