G-Star was originally named Gap Star but decided to change their name upon going international. The brand specializes in making RAW denim - an unwashed, untreated denim in which all jeans start out as after being constructed. G-Star is influenced by European fashion trends as well as by military clothing. Inspirations of their designs come from vintage military apparel bought from around the world. Some examples include special mobile-phone pockets and zippered arm pockets on jackets.

G-Star's flagship stores are located in New York City, United States and the Netherlands in the most luxurious shopping street of Amsterdam, the PC Hooftstraat

This type of denim is dyed but then not washed or treated unlike many other brands of jeans that are stone washed this kind of denim remains unwashed. This means there is a possibility of shrinkage.

The development of innovative products like Raw Denim, which has had a major influence on the jeans market, was a natural consequence of this view. They focus their efforts on creating top class denim jeans that sell themselves. They released their Raw denim over ten years ago in 1996.

This has mass appeal to all styles, trends and ages, while keeping the product in the purest form. Their products are bought by students and high earners alike.
