drag, drama, denim
G-Star RAW presents its latest project "Denim Drags". In collaboration with costume design studio The Nightmare Disorder. The progressive denim brand has once again tested the boundaries of denim with bespoke outfits for international drag icons Shea Couleé, Envy Peru and Hungry.
An expression of G-Star's dedication to craftsmanship, the couture pieces feature intricate details and innovative constructions - a tribute to the art of drag.
Couture looks
The "Trophy Gown" for Shea Coule© is a voluminous dress with sculptural elements, inspired by Parisian couture of the 2000s, and features an elaborate version of the G-Star Elwood kneepad. The "Disco Dreamer" for Envy Peru pays homage to the 70s with over 2000 metal rings and a huge titanium crown with laser-printed denim feathers. The look for Hungry, "Anatomical Distortion", plays with the fascination for denim in metropolitan areas and fuses several bodies into one shape, based on the foundations of a classic denim jacket and capri jeans.
The Nightmare Disorder
G-Star has teamed up with The Nightmare Disorder, a niche design studio run by Benji Nijenhuis and his partner Nemo Chemin©e. Nijenhuis also works as a fashion designer at G-Star and combines the brand's denim expertise with the world of couture. The Nightmare Disorder designed three individual denim outfits that reflect the characters and visions of the drag queens.
