About the project

A concept eyewear collection that reinterprets the structural language of race cars through Gentle Monster’s perspective, between sport and fashion.

A collaboration between Gentle Monster, Formula 1 and Disney, the collection brings three visual worlds together: the technical precision of racing, the playful iconography of Mickey and Friends, and Gentle Monster’s sculptural approach to eyewear. The frames echo the shape of a racing wing, and the campaign sets them on a race track, where speed and play meet.

Process

Each element was modelled in Cinema 4D from basic volumes: the F1 car symmetrically from tubular and cubic forms, the trophy by lathe and loft, the flag as cloth with a checkered pattern. The racing references are rebuilt as objects rather than quoted as graphics.
