Maison Margiela and Gentle Monster have partnered to launch a new eyewear collection featuring eleven new designs in sunglasses and frames. Created by the French couture’s house Creative Director John Galliano and the global fashion eyewear brand Gentle Monster, the genderless line is founded in concepts developed in the artisanal atelier, and the shared belief for experimental craftsmanship. Maison Margiela’s signature elements, such as the black mask, unfinished thread, and fabric details, are reinterpreted by Gentle Monster’s unique aesthetic perspective.

The collection offers structured frames in acetate, and in colors such as black, white, gray, translucent, and tortoiseshell. To celebrate the launch of the collaboration, Maison Margiela x Gentle Monster pop-ups will be held in seven cities around the world: New York, Seoul, Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Singapore, and London. The highly anticipated collaboration will be released on February 28^th worldwide and will be sold at Gentle Monster and Maison Margiela’s on/offline stores, and global select retailers.
