GUESS Jeans, Illumination and Universal Products & Experiences launch capsule collection

GUESS JEANS has joined forces with Illumination and Universal Products & Experiences to launch a new capsule collection inspired by Illumination’s upcoming film Minions & Monsters. Blending vintage Hollywood glamour with iconic American denim, the collaboration reinterprets heritage GUESS silhouettes through joyful photorealistic graphics and archival-inspired designs.

Set to become one of the summer’s biggest action-comedy blockbusters, Minions & Monsters will debut in theaters on July 1.

The capsule collection was launched globally on June 18 across retail, wholesale and e-commerce channels. Drawing inspiration from both classic GUESS JEANS pieces recovered from the brand’s archives and the forthcoming film, the collection celebrates the whimsical world of Minions & Monsters. The movie hilariously chronicles how the Minions conquered Hollywood during the 1920s, rose to fame as silent film stars, lost everything, accidentally unleashed monsters upon the world and ultimately joined forces to save the planet from the chaos they had created.

Rooted in the nostalgic spirit of 1920s Hollywood, the collection merges cinematic fantasy with the lived-in authenticity of classic American style.

Reimagining GUESS JEANS essentials through the lens of Illumination’s iconic Minions, the range combines organic cotton pieces with vintage-inspired denim, chainstitch embroidery and playful graphics. Key styles include the Photo Real Tee and Triangle Tee, both crafted from heavyweight organic cotton, alongside women’s stretch organic cotton baby tees featuring dedicated embroidery and prints.

Denim remains at the heart of the collection, with standout pieces including women’s denim overalls, the Director’s Jacket and Carpenter pants. Each style features medium vintage washes, paint-splatter effects, the signature woven triangle logo and Minions-inspired embroidery.

Accessories round out the offering with a denim tote bag embellished with chainstitch embroidery and a collectible Minions keychain.

Built around themes of nostalgia, humor and the enduring appeal of American denim, the GUESS JEANS x Minions & Monsters collaboration explores the intersection of cinematic storytelling, archival design and vibrant, creative self-expression.
