Among all the storied Parisian houses, Maison Margiela has become synonymous with avant-garde design, revered among fashion insiders for its cult-favorite Tabi shoes and signature trompe-l’œil motifs. Over the years, the brand has cultivated a devoted following, appealing to those with a penchant for subversive fashion and conceptual artistry.
Korean eyewear powerhouse Gentle Monster operates in the same boundary-pushing space. Renowned for its futuristic design language and bold, sculptural frames, the brand has defined eyewear as a statement accessory. Supersized silhouettes, razor-sharp angles, and reflective lenses have become its hallmarks, cementing its status as a go-to for fashion’s tastemakers.
LOOK: The 2025 Gentle Monster x Maison Margiela Collaboration
A collaboration between the two only makes perfect sense—a match made in fashion heaven, so to speak. Since their debut collection in 2023, the brands have continued to join forces annually, putting forth a fresh line of sleek and avant-garde eyewear in the market. Now, with their third collaboration this 2025, their upcoming collection draws elements from vintage influences rendered through a distinctly modern, fashion-forward lens.
With a futuristic set of campaign images, Gentle Monster unveiled its third collaboration with Maison Margiela. Set to hit stores by Thursday, March 6th, the fresh lineup spans an expansive 20-piece collection, comprised of 12 optical frames and eight sunglasses.
A marriage between timeless elements with forward-thinking design, the collection explores a spectrum of materials and hues. Pieces come in classic black, gray, navy, ivory, red, and tortoiseshell, seamlessly harmonizing with silver and green metallic accents.
Drawing from cybercore aesthetics, the designs are characterized by their high-shine metallic finishes, sharp clean lines, and of course, Maison Margiela's iconic four white stitches that sit right by the hinges.
Where to Shop the Collection in the Philippines
Interested shoppers can explore the collection in person at Gentle Monster’s flagship store in the Philippines, located along 5th Avenue, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. Alternatively, the full lineup will also be available for purchase through the brand’s official website.
