Gentle Monster is no stranger to star-studded collaborations, with Tilda Swinton in the not so distant past and Jennie Kim just earlier this year. But it’s their latest collaboration with Kris Wu for an eyewear collection dubbed “GENTLE WU” that’s been making waves as of late.
As expected of this high-concept, experiential South Korean eyewear label, the GENTLE WU collection sports an overall science fiction-esque aesthetic that brilliantly threads the fine line separating style and glamour from costume.

With four varied styles to choose from, those who prefer a versatile pair of eyewear can check out the GW 004 01 in ombré pink. On the other hand, those who prefer going big and bold with style will want to get their hands on the GW 001 02(BK), that features wraparound lenses that blocks out the entire panel of the face.

To celebrate the GENTLE WU collaboration, Gentle Monster has also announced an event to be held in Shanghai called “THE ROLLER SPACE PROJECT”. Though the details of what exactly that entails remains hush-hush at press time, you’ll be interested to know that there will be a series of giveaways featuring exclusive not-for-sale items to be won as part of the countdown to the event’s launch sometime in mid-July.
