Ready for a collab that brings gaming and fashion together in the most epic way? GENTLE MONSTER has teamed up with TEKKEN 8 to create INFERNO, a statement eyewear piece that’s as bold as Kazuya himself—yes, we’re talking about the iconic TEKKEN villain. This partnership blurs the line between reality and the game, giving fashion and gaming fans something to get seriously excited about.
Meet ‘INFERNO’: The Eyewear Reimagining Kazuya’s Vibe
At the heart of this collab is INFERNO, a fearless eyewear design inspired by Kazuya’s devilish horns. GENTLE MONSTER took Kazuya’s intense, villainous look and turned it into a fashion statement. Think sleek lines and bold edges that scream power and confidence. And the packaging? It comes with a custom box modeled after Kazuya’s iconic glove—because why stop at just eyewear when you can have the full experience?
Starting September 28, pop-up spaces in Seoul, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Beijing will bring this collab to life. Imagine stepping into a world where GENTLE MONSTER’s modern aesthetic meets TEKKEN 8’s larger-than-life characters. We’re talking massive Kazuya installations, cool carpets inspired by his garden, and even traditional Japanese elements like tatami, all with a futuristic twist.
Pop-Up Spaces: More Than Just a Display—It’s an Experience
The pop-up spaces aren’t just for admiring cool eyewear. Visitors can fully immerse themselves in the TEKKEN 8 world with interactive installations. After passing under Kazuya’s family flag, you’ll find an AR photo booth shaped like an old-school gaming machine where you can create your very own TEKKEN 8 CD pack using AR filters. If you’re a gamer, fashion lover, or both, this collab is seriously next-level.
And for those who can’t get enough of TEKKEN 8, the collaboration doesn’t end with eyewear or pop-ups. There’s exclusive in-game content to celebrate this partnership, letting fans experience the GENTLE MONSTER x TEKKEN 8 magic inside the game itself.
