Maison Margiela x Gentle Monster presents Gentle Monster’s original eyewear designs incorporating real threaded details of Maison Margiela’s stitch logo, embodying the brands’ value of uncompromised creativity and self-expression. Structured in acetate, the designs are interpreted in glossy colours and effects spanning black, white, grey, cream, transparent, and tortoiseshell.

The union of the two brands constructs a new ‘Créature’ manifested through a unique campaign with Katerina Jebb’s high-resolution scanning technique
