G-Star RAW teamed up with master milliner Stephen Jones to create a capsule collection of denim hats that combine craftsmanship, avant-garde style and sustainability. The G-Star x Stephen Jones collection features five couture denim hat designs, all of which are created in a responsible Cradle to Cradle Gold Certified denim fabric.
As Stephen Jones says, "Everybody around the world knows what denim is and what denim signifies. I took denim out of its comfort zone and made it what it wasn’t." These designs push the limits of denim design and elevate a familiar material into high fashion.
Alongside the five haute couture styles in the capsule collection, there's a pair of limited-edition ready-to-wear designs in the form of a bucket hat and a baseball cap.
