Audrey Hepburn - Central Saint Martins BA Jewellery Design – degree show 2012

Do you know who you are? You can be anyone you want to be as hiding your face with my headpieces. Moreover, it’s possible to avoid from any situation that you are keen to avoid as you hide behind other people- Princess Anastasia, Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly and Lady Gaga.

Vintage-inspired eyewear isn't a new concept by any stretch of the imagination, but Gentlemonster reworks the classics with an emphasis on innovation. Buddy Holly specs and brow line glasses take on a modern edge with sleek angles whereas changeable faceplates give Wayfarers a much-needed update. Frames from the '50s to '70s serve as points of reference, but strictly in a design sense.

Based in Seoul, South Korea, Gentlemonster got its start like many other independent eyewear makers: Kim is an avid collector of vintage glasses. "I started to make eyewear because I know about glasses better than other accessories," he says. Previously, Kim worked for an English education company, launching the label in February 2011.
