Master hatmaker Stephen Jones has matched his legendary craftsmanship with G-Star Raw's denim expertise and collaborated on an innovative headwear collection. The collection consists of five haute couture hats and two limited edition styles, including a bucket hat and a baseball cap. Each of the exclusive pieces showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of the two collaborators, all made from a responsible cradle-to-cradle denim fabric. Taking a cue from Jones' previous couture creations, the hats are oversized in denim and added with intricate, luxurious details.

In addition, two other styles complete the collection, inspired by the world's favorite streetwear classics, the Bucket Hat and Baseball Cap. Both limited-edition ready-to-wear pieces will be available from December 1st, via g-star.com.




"Everyone in the world knows the origin and meaning of denim. I took denim out of its comfort zone and made it what it wasn't. G-Star gave my creativity unlimited freedom in the process," said Stephen Jones, Master Hatter.
