Gluejeans - Fashionfugitives latest coup
24. July 2008 Denim & Co, Designers & Labels
Gluejeans is the latest coup of the self-proclaimed fashionfugitives Gerrit Uittenbogaard and Natasja Martens. After coming up with unique mirror-masks and very-popish pincushions, G+N investigate the leg dress. Handmade and strictly limited, not sewed but glued - this is the idea behind the gluejeans collection that has been launched few days ago during Amsterdam International Fashion Week. Extensively tested for two years, Gerrit Uittenbogaard and Natasja Martens guarantee a high quality standart and long durability and besides that, the two designers also offer personal customisation of the glued denim beauties. In my opinion, a great opportunity for those who don´t want to buy the big labels off the peg and although I usually don´t fall into rupture when I see red seams, I have to admit that the eye-catching rough and irregular glue-lines really strike me.
Gluejeans are sold in selected stores, customised models are glued in the G+N Amsterdam studio. For more information click here.
