Visionary Synergy: Mugler x Gentle Monster Eyewear Collab
By Lux Jones
In an electrifying fusion of avant-garde aesthetics, Mugler and Gentle Monster have unveiled a boundary-pushing eyewear collection that reimagines the future of fashion. Drawing inspiration from Mugler’s iconic 1997 “Les Insectes” haute couture collection, this innovative line features two distinctive silhouettes that epitomize the daring, visionary spirit of both brands.
The Spiral 01 frames radiate a fierce dynamism, with angular lines that offer a modern twist on Mugler’s legendary “Fourmis” eyewear. Meanwhile, the Spiral 02 exudes contemporary sophistication with its intricate embossed details and sleek chrome logo on the temples. Together, these styles forge a powerful visual narrative that marries classic elegance with avant-garde boldness.
The launch is celebrated through a striking campaign shot by Theo Liu, featuring models Georgia Palmer and Colin Jones. The imagery pays homage to iconic visual innovators like Helmut Newton and Mugler’s founder, Manfred Thierry Mugler, encapsulating the essence of this collaboration: a seamless blend of fashion-forward vision and uncompromising artistry.
Mark your calendars for July 17th, when the Mugler x Gentle Monster collection will be available online and in physical stores of both brands, as well as selected multi-brand retailers worldwide. In true Gentle Monster style, the release will be highlighted by special events in Seoul and Shanghai, showcasing kinetic sculpture installations that meld fashion, art, and cutting-edge technology into an immersive, sensory experience.
