The collection springs to life through the lens of Jordan Hemingway, encapsulating the eyewear in a surreal dreamscape. This virtual panorama aligns seamlessly with the narrative that propelled Maison Margiela’s Co-Ed Spring-Summer 2024 Collection, rooted in a timeless transatlantic odyssey.
In this brave new world where fashion is an extension of our inner tapestry, Gentle Monster and Maison Margiela dissect our sartorial language. Memories, affinities, the subconscious, and nuances of our persona all play into this exploration. The array of spectacles, inclusive of ten sunglasses and seven optical frames, echo the collection’s thematic essence. The palette is versatile, presenting staples such as black, white, grey, cream, transparent, and tortoiseshell, with a special series wrapped in luxurious leather, available in black, ivory, khaki, and blue hues.
Through the visionary eye of Creative Director John Galliano, the collaboration assumes a revolutionary design narrative. The voluminous, futuristic forms of the MM101 and MM102 pieces adopt a metallic sheen, sculpted to hug the visage’s natural curves intimately. These temple-less wonders are cradled in their bespoke silver Glam Slam cases, setting them apart from their siblings ensconced in white.
Mark your calendars, for the visionary Maison Margiela and Gentle Monster alliance to awaken today March 7th, promising a paradigm shift in the way we perceive eyewear.
