Vooglam x Mona Matsuoka Eyewear Collab ‘Collision’ Is Still Turning Heads

Style has never been about fitting into one category, and Mona Matsuoka isn’t interested in starting now. The New York-based model and DJ brings her distinct point of view to eyewear brand VOOGLAM with Collision, a collection that blurs the lines between personal identity, experimental design, and everyday style.

Having built a career that moves between international fashion and New York’s underground nightlife scene, Matsuoka knows how to navigate different worlds. With Collision, those influences take on a new form.

Rather than following a singular design direction, the six-piece capsule embraces contrast. Sleek metallic finishes meet playful color combinations, while angular, architectural shapes sit alongside softer, more fluid silhouettes. 

Among the collection’s more striking designs, Suzuka makes a statement with its futuristic shield silhouette and mirrored finishes. Ginza and Meguro reinterpret the cat-eye through sharp proportions and bold lines, while Okinawa introduces a more experimental edge with its open-frame construction and unexpected color pairings. For something more understated, Ebisu offers a sculptural oval shape, and Niseko brings a minimalist approach through lightweight metal detailing. The names themselves carry meaning, each referencing a location connected to Matsuoka’s life. Together, they create a visual map of her influences, transforming personal memories and experiences into pieces that can become part of someone else’s individual style.

Available in 19 colorways, with sunglass and optical options across the collection, the designs offer plenty of room for interpretation. Across the capsule, a rotatable ‘M’ logo brings a playful, interactive take on branding, while acetate construction and metal detailing balance everyday wearability with collectible appeal. The line is available for online purchase at Vooglam.com, with prices ranging from $100-$120.

With Collision, VOOGLAM and Matsuoka make a case for eyewear as more than a finishing touch. It’s an opportunity to experiment, shift perspectives, and embrace the different sides of personal style.

After all, the most interesting looks rarely play by the rules.
