Anne Curtis Gentle Monster Haus Nowhere Seoul Opening South Korea

Article (news)

<p>When <strong>HAUS NOWHERE SEOUL </strong>opened in<strong> Seongsu, Seoul, South Korea </strong>on September 3, the launch became one of the most talked-about cultural events of the season, drawing an international lineup of stars including <strong>Hunter Schafer</strong>, <strong>FKA Twigs</strong>, <strong>Felix of Stray Kids</strong>, <strong>Byeon Woo Seok</strong>, <strong>Tilda Swinton</strong>, and more. Among them was our very own <strong>Anne Curtis</strong>, whose appearance carried the pride of the Philippines onto one of fashion’s most futuristic and relevant stages.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1757336773712544909478_18528938110004867_4617445167399670406_n.jpg" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1757336801549544303784_18528938119004867_527229178406316492_n.jpg" style="width:1000px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>Anne&#x27;s event arrival was a vision. Her look was a study in modern power dressing. She wore a dark look with sharp draping, a daring slit, and sheer tights that gave her silhouette both edge and elegance. Silver jewelry added sculptural detail, while a sleek updo pulled her features into focus. What defined the look, however, were the glasses: a pair of <strong>Gentle Monster ODD 01</strong> from their newest <strong>2</strong><strong>025 BOLD Collection</strong>. The frames and Anne’s magnetic aura turned her red carpet moment into something sharper, more cinematic, and completely in tune with the architecture around her. The choice was deliberate. Gentle Monster is not only the eyewear label she now represents but also the driving force behind HAUS NOWHERE, the experimental retail concept that has redefined how fashion and art coexist. By stepping into the space in its signature frames, Anne aligned herself with the very philosophy of the event: futuristic, intellectual, and boundary-pushing.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17573329383784.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Anne Curtis wearing Gentle Monster&#x27;s ODD 01 from their newest 2025 BOLD Collection</span></span></span></div><p>Against a backdrop of monumental installations and raw concrete curves, she embodied a balance of drama and restraint. Her eyewear grounded the ensemble, giving it a cerebral edge that felt at once high fashion and deeply personal. In a crowd of global icons, Anne represented the Philippines with confidence, placing herself firmly in the conversation of international style.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17573329538987.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Anne at the the Gentle Monster floor of the newly opened HAUS NOWHERE SEOUL</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>Gliding through the photowall were a constellation of stars: <strong>Karina of aespa </strong>and <strong>Felix of Stray Kids </strong>brought K-pop flair; Taiwanese actor <strong>Greg Hsu</strong>, Japanese actor <strong>Kentaro Sakaguchi</strong>, and Chinese singer <strong>Cai Xukun </strong>added heartthrob charisma. <strong>M</strong><strong>EOVV’s Ella Gross</strong>, <strong>Hunter Schafer</strong>, and <strong>FKA Twigs </strong>added avant-garde appeal, while <strong>Tilda Swinton</strong> lent her signature elegance and <strong>Byeon Woo Seok </strong>brought<strong></strong> his usually undebatable charm. Together, they elevated the evening into a truly intercontinental celebration of creativity, culture, and style.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17573329698815.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Byeon Woo Seok and Felix for Gentle Monster</span></span></span></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17573330286386.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Hunter Schafer and Tilda Swinton wearing Gentle Monster</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>The <strong>HAUS NOWHERE SEOUL</strong> opening, apart from being a store debut is also an introduction to IICOMBINED’s newest headquarters and a sprawling multi-brand space that houses their homegrown labels <strong>Gentle Monster</strong>, <strong>Tamburins</strong>, <strong>Atiissu</strong>, <strong>Nudake</strong>’s new <strong>Tea House</strong> concept, and the debut of tableware brand <strong>Nuflaat</strong>.
