South Korea based Gentle Monster reinterprets the shield silhouette with a modern touch through its Bold collection prepared for the season. By removing the nose pads, the brand introduces a bold and futuristic approach to design. The collection features both acetate and metal as core materials. The metal frames in the Gentle Monster Bold series create an unexpected contrast by pairing lightweight lenses with strong bridges crafted through refined and precise workmanship. The acetate frames, on the other hand, add a dynamic character to the collection with exaggerated front volumes and signature symbols that evoke a sense of speed. The Bold collection brings together Gentle Monster’s innovative design vision with bold volumes and architectural details, redefining the brand’s aesthetic perspective on the future. The brand will launch the collection through exclusive pop up events to be held in Seoul, Beijing, and Tokyo. Inspired by the iconic silhouettes and textures of Haus Nowhere Seoul, the pop up spaces will present an innovative visual concept that merges fashion with architecture. With its 2025 Bold collection, Gentle Monster delivers a confident statement that brings the aesthetics of the future into the present.
