G-Star RAW

Quick history

G-Star RAW was founded in Amsterdam in 1989 and became known for its raw, industrial approach to denim. The brand pushed unfinished seams, heavy fabrics, and unconventional silhouettes, turning jeans into statement pieces rather than simple basics. By blending military, workwear, and street style, G-Star helped redefine what modern denim could look like in the late-90s and 2000s.
