At Maison Margiela’s Artisanal 2025 show, the runway wasn’t the only place to watch. In the front row and at the photocall, one accessory stood out: sunglasses. Not just any frames — sculptural, tinted, and radical designs from Gentle Monster, worn by the most photographed faces of the moment.
Style began at eye level. Tessa Thompson in bold black shades. Cardi B in reflective gold. Dianna Agron’s icy blue lenses. Natasha Poly, Pom Klementieff, and Kennedy Yanko each chose frames that elevated their presence — from graphic lines to vintage nods.
Kai Isaiah Jamal‘s tortoiseshell glasses struck a poetic balance, adding a layer of narrative to their already textural look. Each pair felt intentional, like punctuation in a visual statement.
While not part of the runway looks, Gentle Monster made its mark through the front row. The Korean eyewear innovator — known for pushing design boundaries — brought its experimental edge to Margiela’s circle. The result: frames that felt like sculptures, worn not to fade into the face but to frame it.
Their presence aligned with the show’s language: vertical silhouettes, architectural references, and semi-masked bodies. These sunglasses echoed that vision — quiet, exact, and slightly uncanny.
There’s something about wearing sunglasses to a fashion show. It’s not about hiding — it’s about curating what’s visible. For the Margiela runway 2025, these lenses became filters: not only to view the collection, but to insert oneself into its visual language.
This wasn’t about trend-following. It was about owning perspective — something both Margiela and Gentle Monster understand deeply.
In 2025, the Margiela runway sunglasses worn by celebrities weren’t just accessories. They were framing devices, shifting the gaze and reshaping how we look — and are looked at.
