Nordic mythology "G-star" cowboy creative process

G-STAR, a European ghost in the fashion world, has long reshaped our aesthetic perspective and transformed how we view European trends. For years, our perception of Europe was dominated by French extravagance and Italian decadence—opulent, sexy, and overly dramatic. But now, G-STAR has introduced a different narrative: one rooted in Nordic mythology, or what could be called "the myth of the Nordic barbarians." With its raw, tannic fabric, high-quality tailoring, and a non-conformist attitude, it has shifted my understanding of style. Instead of chasing trends or catering to fleeting tastes, G-STAR encourages people to listen to their inner voice and express themselves authentically. The original G-STAR from 1989 was not about raw denim. While untreated denim can technically be called raw, the early versions suffered from severe shrinkage. To solve this, G-STAR adopted a new process called "Sanforize," which significantly reduced shrinkage and helped standardize the fabric. Though the brand is still associated with raw denim today, the design during that period was rather simple and unremarkable. By the year 2000, G-STAR's style began to evolve. It embraced more intricate designs, including elaborate patchwork, various types of embroidery, and creative use of lines, hanging loops, and pockets. This era also marked the beginning of G-STAR’s focus on post-washing effects, leading to the development of its signature "used" look. The brand started to experiment with unique washing techniques, giving each piece a distinct character. From 2002 to 2005, G-STAR’s creative styling and innovative marketing strategies helped it expand globally, sparking a wave of popularity. During this time, the company focused on its core product—pants—and gradually matured into a more refined brand. Technological advancements improved quality, and fabrics like Color Twill, plain cloth, and others became essential parts of the G-STAR collection, including Officer Twill, Ripstop, and Flight Chevron. Since 2006, G-STAR has grown rapidly, reaching its peak in terms of global influence. In Asia, especially in Japan and South Korea, its presence has been growing daily. Styling became more versatile, with the adoption of more wearable fits like SEC and SKINNY, while the STRAIGHT fit also evolved to become more refined and popular. Designs ranged from minimalistic and elegant to highly detailed, offering a wide variety for different tastes. Embroidery and printing were used creatively, sometimes unexpectedly, adding depth and surprise to each piece. In terms of finishing and washing, G-STAR returned to simpler styles, experimenting with lightly washed or even unwashed fabrics. Colors were also reimagined, with bold and eye-catching hues becoming a key feature. Even cowboy-inspired pieces found more suitable color options. At its core, G-STAR is just clothing—but the phrase on its label, “just the product,” makes me think it represents something deeper: self-awareness, restraint, perseverance, and an unyielding stance. It’s not about compromise; it’s about standing firm in one’s identity. So, what is the style of G-STAR? Some say Dior Homme is a medieval vampire in a Gothic castle, sipping aged wine by the fire. I see G-STAR as a stormy northern pirate, summoned by the Queen on the first day, attending a royal banquet. They quickly find some decent clothes, dress up, and walk into the hall. As they approach, the roughness, the ruggedness, the indifference, and the primal masculinity all come through—raw, unfiltered, and undeniably real.
