Runway Rockstars

One of our favorite fashion week shows to look forward to this fall was the G-Star New York spring/summer presentation. The edgy netherland-based brand can always be counted on to give it their all in an avant garde display that has included stage elements like conveyor belts and trampolines in the past.

This year was no different with a futuristic spread reminiscent of Star Trek, though the clothes were pretty on par with the times. There were of course the signature G-Star cuts - very military and functional in a way that most runway shows can't manage, but there were also styles present which lent a look that could only be described as retro-futuristic. Looks that would have been at home in the fifties strolled across the runway with a streamlined modern makeover.

G-Star also stepped away from their usually dark palette to pepper in some clean white and inky blue shades. Overall, the change was a welcome one. We love G-Star for the bellicosity of the brand, but this is spring and summer line we're talking about, right?
