Structured in acetate, the designs are interpreted in glossy colours and effects spanning black, white, grey, cream, transparent and tortoiseshell. Featuring hand-stitched matelassé quilt details, the collaboration package reconciles Maison Margiela‘s Glam Slam clutch trough Gentle Monster‘s aesthetic.

Conceived by John Galliano and GM, the genderless line – which includes sunglasses and spectacles – is founded in concepts developed in the Artisanal atelier and encompasses eleven designs across numerous colourways. The French haute couture house and the global fashion eyewear brand detect in their practices a shared belief in experimental craftsmanship. The union of the two brands constructs a new ‘Créature’ manifested through a unique campaign with Katerina Jebb‘s high-resolution scanning technique.
