It’s no secret what big G-Star Raw fans we are, and as always, they do not disappoint us with their men’s and women’s line at the Bread & Butter Runway Show. They have staple pieces like denim workshirts, jean jackets and shorts, but what we love is how they put their own funky spin on them. This is best seen in the jean jacket that has side slits, making it resemble almost a poncho more than the common jean jacket. Most of the pieces in the collection have subtle but contrast stitching, giving the denim a structured and more polished look. Our favorite looks of the collection though were the ones that created sweet silhouettes, like the maxi denim skirt and and three-quarter sleeve A-line denim dress. The men’s pieces that really stood out to us were the printed denim coverall, light-wash denim blazer, and the denim jacket with contrasting washes. We are sad to say that the Bread & Butter line is never released for retail sale, but are definitely even more excited to see what G-Star Raw has in the future when we know that this is what they are capable of.

The G-Star Raw by Marc Newson Spring 2012 Collection is all about outerwear and classic denim cuts. We’re a big fan of the aqua hooded jacket which is great for those those rainy spring days, but also a bright enough to keep our spirits up! After all, who wants clothing that makes them look and feel gloomy? Not us! The jean jacket stands out thanks to the contrast stitching and two-tone denim collar & pockets. The dark-wash jeans also caught our eye thanks to the faded blue to white cuffs. Definitely an interesting look but we would really only like them paired with something that matches that electric blue shade–not always an easy task. The collection will be available in the coming months at the G-Star Raw Online Shop.

The Masterpiece Autumn Winter 2011 Lookbook has the denim that sets your man apart from the rest. Our personal favorite look of the bunch is the dark wash denim hoodie with contrast stitching and lining. That is one piece of clothing that better be hidden deep in his closet, or we’re coming for it. The line also has a denim work shirt, which is so versatile that it should definitely be a staple piece of any guy’s wardrobe this season. Their jean jacket stands out from the usual styles due to its pleated detailing and distressed denim wash—just enough to get you noticed, but not look like you’re trying to hard. This lookbook lets it be known: if you’re rocking Masterpiece this fall, you will not be disappointed.
