SCOTLAND'S TOP INDEPENDENT FASHION ... - Xile Clothing

G-Star’s shift from overtly branded
commercial product to more subtle,
design led pieces that draw upon
the brand’s varied back catalogue
continues apace in 2011. The fall
collection replaces bold colours and
loud logos with understated detailing,
minimalist branding and fantastic
fabrics. The range references obvious
military influences which are reflected
in the khaki overshirts and heavy duty
bomber jackets. The detailing on these
pieces is absolutely standout; bias cut
pockets, worn in fabrics and slimline
cuts combine to great effect and are
truly reminiscent of classic G-Star
designs from the past.
Americana influences shine through
across the collection as well. Look
out for chunky checked shirts and
straight legged worker style denims.
More modernist styles are available in
the form of high gloss ‘puffa’ jackets
and hooded overshirts in rough and
ready fabrics. Essentially G-Star has
something for everyone in this varied
collection. Branding has been toned
down across the range but those of you
in need of a classic hoody or tee will
be impressed with the ‘ghostwritten’
logo that debuts this season and the
varsity style crew necks that’ve been
flying off the shelves.
As you’d expect, denim remains a
mainstay within the collection. We’ve
focused on top half within this spread
but you can check out a couple of key
styles on our online blog. Alternatively
nip into your local G-Star store where
our team of denim experts will be more
than happy to find you the perfect
jeans for your shape and style.
