First let me give kudos to G-Star Raw for using models that didn't look emaciated and wasted. Yes, they were thin, but the models going down the runway had a healthy glow that's become a rarity at Fashion Week.
But, I digress. This season G-Star went in a surprisingly new direction. A very, very surprising direction. Gone was the "Raw" from G-Star Raw, as well as the tailored utilitarian aesthetic we've come to expect, to be replaced by distressed denim and sheen. I have to admit, it took me several minutes to even notice the denim because it was obscured by an overwhelming spectacle of bright saturated color. Sunny yellows, shamrock greens and blues were almost overwhelming in tights, shoes and oversized coats, vests and sweaters. Solid piping was seen on capes and jeans and was reminiscent of the glory days of Parasuco. The entire effect was almost comical, but I think the intention was just to have a little fun.
