The Two Styles Draw on Iconic Design Moments From the Mugler Archive
Mugler and Gentler Monster have joined forces to unveil a collaborative eyewear collection that brings their distinct visions of futuristic style boldly together.
The collection features two silhouettes: Spiral 01, which conveys an intense energy from its angular design inspired by a modern exploration of Mugler’s ‘Fourmis’ eyewear first introduced as part of the House’s 1997 ‘Les Insectes’ haute couture collection; and Spiral 02, which stands out with a contemporary edge, featuring embossed line details and a chrome logo on the temples.
Photographed by Theo Liu and starring Georgia Palmer and Colin Jones, the launch is celebrated with a slick campaign that pays homage to visual innovators like Helmut Newton and Manfred Thierry Mugler himself.
The Mugler x Gentle Monster collection is set for release July 17th, and will be sold through Mugler and Gentle Monster’s official online and offline stores as well as select multi-brand shops globally. Celebrating the collection, special activations will be held in Seoul and Shanghai that, in keeping with Gentler Monster’s practice of fusing fashion and art with innovative technological experiences, will feature special kinetic sculpture installations.
