WORKWEAR DENIM

-

Incorporat­ing Japanese workwear into denim forms and drawing inspiratio­n fromworld events like the Dakar Rally, G-Star RAW is back with its fourth instalment of the Exclusives collection. Fresh off last year’s campaign, which featured local stars like Moozlie, Youngsta CPT, Shane Eagle, and Courtnaé Paul, Exclusives by GStar RAW encapsulat­es the limitless creativity of the brand.

This season elaborate designs are expressed without restraint while employing the G-Star DNA in its purest, most extroverte­d form. The pieces are denim-focused garments that create refined styles with a conceptual twist. Inspiratio­n comes from Japanese workwear, which originates from the Japanese military uniform. Aspects from these uncompromi­sing garments include a widerleg with a narrower fit at the calf. Silhouette­s have been reinvented using superlativ­e denim, taking everyday workwear and transformi­ng it into inspiratio­nal, wearable garments.

The Dakar Rally inspiratio­n can be seen in features mimicking structured fits, excess pockets and distinct zip detailing. Soft pastels with lighter hues of green and pink reflect the desertinsp­ired palette, and are also ready for spring when it comes around.

From the voluminous trench coat to the constructe­d jumpsuit, each item has its own narrative and is made to encapsulat­e the story behind superior constructi­on techniques, premium fabrics and hybrid design features.

We see each detail representi­ng a combinatio­nbetween functional­ity and aesthetics. Japanese denim, embroidere­d artwork, and contrastin­g colours add personalit­y. g-star.com
