Enter Stage Rite Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 When fashion and gaming collide, the results can be as bold as a roundhouse kick. Gentle Monster, a luxury cult-favorite eyewear brand from South Korea, has teamed up with Tekken 8 to release the Inferno capsule collection, bringing the fiery character of Devil Kazuya to life in a whole new way. Priced at $500, the Inferno CS1 model takes its cues from Devil Kazuya, the demonic alter-ego of Tekken’s iconic bad boy and the ambassador of this sizzling campaign. The goggle-style frames are accented with silver and vibrant red mirrored lenses, echoing the fierce energy of Kazuya Mishima.

This collaboration extends to pop-up installations in Gentle Monster’s international stores, where visitors can step into a Tekken-inspired world. A massive battle structure, blending Zen-style aesthetics with Kazuya’s fierce energy, sets the stage. There’s also an AR photo booth designed like a game console, giving fans the chance to transform into avatars from Tekken 8.
