The long wait is finally over: Gentle Monster has now officially landed in the Philippines! Months after photos of its storefront in Taguig made rounds on social media, the luxury eyewear brand opened its doors on October 16 at 5th Avenue, Bonifacio Global City.

Similar to their buzz-worthy and avant-garde stores in South Korea, Gentle Monster's very first Philippine branch is also a sight to see. Built with tall glass windows and countless sleek lights, the store's presence is unmistakable along 5th Avenue.
Enter the store and you'll be greeted by a giant blinking eyeball that deserves a spot on your feed. Walk a little more and you'll see a striking sculpture of the The Giant perched on top of a contemporary reinterpretation of FREDERIK HEYMAN’s 3D artwork.
Of course, the shop opening also featured a wide selection of cop-worthy sunnies and specs. Their latest lineup includes an exclusive Manila-only restock of the Maison Margiela collection incorporating threaded details of the designer's fashion logo.
