G-Star Women's Night

I was invited along to the G-Star Women's night back in the Autumn by the lovely Carmen who is the G-Star ladieswear specialist from the Bristol, UK Flagship store. The event was to promote the ladieswear range and the new slim fit edition jeans and also to encourage more ladies into the Bristol shop which has so far been more popular with the Male Bristol shopper. I have no idea why this is, I guess different areas have different looks and tastes, it may also have something to do with ladies ranges being at the back of the shop, whatever the reasons Carmen and the rest of G-Star Bristol team are determined to change this and make G-Star Women work for Bristol.

The ranges are very military and utilitarian inspired but if you look closer at the ladieswear ranges you will find lots of feminine pieces for the not-so-tomboy types including fitted jackets and skinny jeans. I know that I am currently not a fan of skinny jeans (due to my over wearing of them for the past 13 years) but I love G-star's jackets and shirts and those amazing A-Crotch tapered jeans!!! I picked out a denim skinny jacket to wear at the event but there were loads to choose from, I decided on a jacket that went with the outfit I was wearing which included 1950s jeans, a crop top and Dr Martens, a washed denim skinny jacket seemed the best choice as the colour contrasted with my jeans and had a skinhead inspired style to go with the Docs. Carmen wore top to toe G-star, I loved her shirt with the western inspired ribbon tie and her super skinnies that looked great with killer red heels and Carmen's stunning, androgynous look.

On arrival we were treated to Mohito cocktails and given lipstick make overs from Bare Minerals    and movie style curls and waves courtesy of hair stylists from Sean Hanna Bristol all to the backdrop sound of Bristol's own Dutty Girl/ Dutty Bass super cool lady DJ Dissmiss.

Lot's of ladies were very enthusiastic about getting their make up and hair done and there was a lot of trying on of the G-Star ladieswear ranges going on so hopefully the night was a success for the Bristol G-Star store.

Here's a few photographs I took on the night (and my friend and guest for the night, Sarah helped to get some personal style pics for the blog for me, of course!).

No Debutante - G-Star Bristol

I met up with ladies wear specialist Carmen for the Dutch urban clothing label and raw denim specialists G-Star brand here in Bristol, a few weeks back, to have a chat and a look at the latest ladies wear collections in store. I am going to be doing a collaborations product post with G-star ladies to help promote the latest collections and to show you how I wear G-Star!

The one thing I noticed about G-star clothing is the attention to detail on pockets and trims, there are military influences that will always catch my attention since I am definitely a military and denim lover, what is not to like here?? The denim fabrics are tough but soft to wear and this makes a change from the flimsy denim fabrics used in other (nameless) high street stores that I have been accustomed to of late. Carmen took me on a shop tour and I wasted no time in getting some of these lovely products tried on for a quick in store photo shoot. I fell in love with the A-Crotch 3D loose tapered jeans, I spotted the shape and cut instantly and had to try them on. Carmen and the shop manager were insisting that I wore the jeans low on my hips, which I haven't done since I wore hipster jeans well over six years ago. I looked at it differently this time, as the A-Crotch jeans were tapered and not super skinny and this dismissed any ideas of a muffin top appearing!! I actually felt quite comfortable with the look and it was very different for me, which I like, I don't like to keep wearing the same styles for too long or to get stuck in a fashion rut, a change in style is good!! I paired the jeans with a couple of different sleeveless shirts chosen from the latest ranges ( a sleeveless shirt is a current favourite in my wardrobe at the moment) I wore the denim Tailor Custom sleeveless shirt with a knot detail and contrasting panels but my favourite was the Beach Rovic Palm sleeveless shirt with the all over khaki palm camouflage print, which I also tied in a knot - well it was still hot and sunny at the time, I'm sure I will be trying on jackets and knitwear when I go again in the near future!

I shall be styling the latest G-star collections up to show you how No Debutante wears G-Star and I shall attempt to wear those low slung A-crotch jeans 1950s pedal pusher style! Carmen would like to see how I would wear double denim and I would like to see how the G-Star staff would dress me, so lots going on which is very exciting! 

 I insisted on taking photographs of the G-Star staff who were dressed up in the latest G-Star ranges. 
To my surprise the girls were wearing items from the men's wear collections and to be honest, they looked really cool, with their low slung jeans, a real androgynous tomboy style, proper boyfiend jeans, they looked great! I especially loved the double denim outfit, it was very reminiscent of 1980s skinhead style with turned up jeans and a  denim jacket in the same hue worn with polished boots and accessorised with a 1990s style skater chain and a topknot, a real mash up style which is right up my fashion street! 
The whole look is available at G-Star as they produce everything from denim jeans to dresses and footwear and everything in between making their mark as high end, high street all rounders.

 For those of you in the Bristol area there is an event taking place at the G-Star Cabot 

Circus store in Bristol coming up in a couple of weeks, especially for all you lovely ladies out there who
