Motorcycle edge in KNWLS x G-Star limited edition
Dutch denim label G-Star presented the second instalment of an ongoing series of collaborations with up-and-coming designers. After Ottolinger, London-based design duo KNWLS was invited to put its own spin on the brand’s denim DNA.
KNWLS co-founders Charlotte Knowles and Alexandre Arsenault visited G-Star’s headquarters and archives before creating their version for The Denim 002. The two partners share a same fondness for anatomic designs and inside-out seams, which can be seen on the special edition jeans.
The designers said that they wanted the trousers to be slim but not tight. “Relaxed – a bit tomboy, a bit cowboy. But also anatomic, with darts at the knees,” they explained in a Q&A with the brand. The back of the jeans features a princess seam at the top and a zipper at the bottom of the legs to shift from straight to bootcut.
A specially developed gradient wash was created for the jeans, which are sold for £220 online.
