Gentle (Little) Monsters (ABOVE)
Inspired by the dreams and ambitions of a new breed of creators, the first Gentle Monster Kids Collection takes you on a journey envisioned by Luca Mastroianni and reenacted by 8-year-old Tokyo Instagram phenomenon Coco (@coco_pinkprincess). For the collection, the brand downsized six of its iconic frames, from the futuristic Ribbon to the fashion-forward Chapssal (and the Peggy, shown). The Gentle Monster Kids Collection comes in special bespoke packaging in bright colored logo design. MSRP: $184-$280, gentlemonster.com
