G-Star Raw has partnered with David Laport to launch a denim line.

G-Star Raw is a Dutch denim brand. David Laport is a Dutch designer known for his circular couture approach to dressmaking, signature pleats and celebrity clientele. The two-piece capsule collection features a strapless top and a tiered dress—each defined by Laport’s sculptural accordion-style pleating. The top mimics the shape of a bow while the layers fan out into an explosion of pleats on the dress.

The intent was to make something glamorous, something feminine, something totally different and something in denim. G-Star Raw and Laport wanted to make something festive, a statement piece that was easy to wear. So it’s possible to party and go out in both pieces. The top can be worn with G-Star trousers and sneakers.

In keeping with G-Star’s roots, the pieces are made with 100 per cent cotton Japanese selvedge denim. The 10 oz. 2×1 right hand twill fabrics have an authentic green cast while the weft gray adds vintage appeal. G-Star also plans to begin launching a new sustainable production innovation every other year. The innovations will be based on either materials or washing levels—steps that will help close the loop in denim.
