Hunter Schafer Fronts Gentle Monster’s Fall 2025 Collection

Hunter Schafer and Gentle Monster have done it again — but this time, they’ve traded fantasy for the strange comfort of suburbia. The eyewear brand just dropped THE HUNT, a one-minute short directed by surrealist powerhouse Nadia Lee Cohen, introducing its Fall 2025 collection through a lens that’s equal parts eerie and exquisite.

Forget loud maximalism — Gentle Monster’s latest drop leans into quiet dominance. The frames are slimmer, sleeker, and more sculptural than before, channeling a cool restraint that whispers, rather than shouts, luxury. In THE HUNT, Schafer drifts through an uncanny suburban world that teeters between dream and nightmare — a fitting metaphor for the brand’s ability to blur the line between wearable art and cinematic fantasy.

Drawing inspiration from classic horror tropes, the film flips the mundane into the mysterious, all while spotlighting minimalist silhouettes and meticulously refined craftsmanship. The eyewear lineup lands in classic and metallic tones, echoing the sophistication of the setting — subtle but commanding, understated yet arresting.

As if the cinematic reveal wasn’t enough, Gentle Monster is extending the experience into an interactive game that invites fans to explore THE HUNT’s surreal world firsthand. Consider it eyewear reimagined for the hyper-stylized mind — where storytelling meets statement design.
