Central Park looked a bit closer to Lincoln Center as G-STAR RAW presented its Fall/Winter 2011 Collection at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Up against the backdrop, a photo of the park’s snow covered trail gave the impression as if the models magically teleported between the 2 incomparable landmarks. And if the stuff of science fiction was a reality, G-STAR certainly made good use of it last evening. Catered to the urban Ernest Shackleton wanna-bes, the collection bordered on 2 eras of denim, one of which denim was merely workwear of common men, the other, a future where denim was a magical “do-it-all”. Between both, the label explored all options, including denim life preserver to dandy cloak with offset pockets. In supporting roles to the denim centerpieces, coats and pants filled with insulation as if in preparation for the next snowpocalypse. Others became measures for possible future confrontation with printed camouflage. At the end, most of the audience realized the show’s theme wasn’t just a stroll in Central Park, but a trans-dimensional exploration.
