Intro:


 * Gentle Monster’s brand name consists of two parts: gentle resembles the wearable, delicate, and humble side contrasting with monster reflecting the attitude and individuality of the brand.
 * There are over 450 retailers in 30 countries.

Production and Services: (added on)


 * Gentle Monster attained a factory with Italian manufacturers who previously worked for famous brands such as Ray-Ban early during its journey in Korea to produce high-quality eyewear. If not all, most of Gentle Monster’s eyewear is produced with chrome, titanium, and premium metals to produce glasses and sunglasses. With a purchase from the brand, Gentle Monster offers repair and maintenance as well as customization to adjust to an individual’s face.

Retail Spaces:


 * Gentle Monster’s in-store experience adds to its worldwide recognition. Each store’s goal is to mimic a contemporary gallery containing life-sized objects and sculptures. With each individual store differing, the displays elevate the experience beyond just the practicality and fashion statements. For example, one of Gentle Monster’s London stores has a Kung Fu theme with robots performing martial arts movements. An immersive experience arises through Gentle Monster’s first store in Korea featuring a lifesize ship.

Marketing:


 * Gentle Monster’s catch is the eyewear will never go on sale. Items are all limited edition, once an item sells out, the next return is not promised. The luxury brand is creative yet intellectual in strategic marketing to expand its recognition. Gentle Monster is the first luxury eyewear brand to cater to the Asian market, accounting for the beauty standard, face shape, and features. The inclusivity and uniqueness of dedicating an entire brand to Asians is a leading factor in the company’s success.

Collaborations:

Additional collaborations include, but are not limited to Overwatch 2, World of Warcraft D’heygere, Moncler, Fendi, Alexander Wang, and Maison Margiela.

Clientele:


 * Added Dua Lipa and Hailey Bieber

Projects: (added on)

Gentle Monster’s newest project, Redefinition of Eyewear, emphasizes the endless possibilities of eyewear. The brand’s vision is to push boundaries and redefine the conventional definition of eyewear, creating unique and new concepts. Gentle Monster believes experimentation is the key to success and expanding the ideas relating to eyewear. Thus, creating unisex styles of eyewear: prescription glasses and sunglasses. However, it is not limited to general usage, instead acting as accessories and fashion statements.
