GUARDIAN MONSTERS Collection Story
Since the beginning of history, there were Guardian Monsters hiding between layers of time.
They are symbols of water, protecting buildings and towns from fire hazard.
Our ancestors gave thanks to the Guardian Monsters and there was a harmony.However, there were people with bad intentions and the monsters got angry.
They kidnapped the people with bad spirits and tortured them with endless riddles in their labyrinth.
They were not allowed to escape until they solved all the problems.
Once they were released, they became humble people with good hearts.Guardian Monsters are keeping balance of this world, protecting us from bad influences and rewarding the good ones, even today.
The story of Guardian Monsters represent the core identity of PLEIADES collections, and its shoes.
The main shoes of the collection - LUNA, TASHA and KEIRA were created during our first two seasons, becoming the essential elements of the brand.
Going through the meaningful year of 2020, we took some time to navigate where we are.
We’ve produced collections for three years, and tirelessly created new styles.
We’ve met many people who inspired us through our wonderful journey, and just by living in PLEIADES, we experience what it is about, day by day.
Taking everything out of the drawers, folders and shelves, we realised who the new PLEIADES women are.
So we wanted to make a statement, through this collection.
The collection can be divided into 2 series.
One is our heroes, TASHA - KEIRA - LUNA and JOANNE.
The other one is our new members, JONATHAN and JILL.

For the daily shoes - JONATHAN and JILL, the designer has created an exclusive hardware.
The shape of the gunmetal hardware is called ‘Dorae’, named after the basic form of Korean traditional hand-tied knot.
It represents the beginning and the end of everything, and also, harmony.
