A new take on Colonia, the famous Acqua di Parma classic, incorporates the rich aromas of sandalwood.

Colonia Sandalo, an eau de cologne concentrée, opens on the original fragrance’s signature notes of bergamot, lemon, orange and petit-grain.

Cardamom and lavender notes sit at the heart, while the Indian sandalwood that gives the fragrance its name can be found in the base notes, with tonka bean and amber. Available in two sizes, 100ml (€178) and a majestic 180ml format (€232), Colonia Sandalo is a captivating addition to the Acqua di Parma family. grc De Bijenkorf, Coolsingel 105, 3012 AG Rotterdam, +31 (0)88 245 4488, acquadiparma.com

STAYING CLOSE Parisian jeweller Jean Dinh Van created his first Menottes design in 1976 as part of a keyring.

Menottes is the French word for handcuffs, and the Van Dinh Menottes design has since been developed into a full collection of jewellery in its own right, making a striking feature of the clasp, a practical element that is usually discreetly hidden.

The handcuffs are now available in various versions, and over 40 years since the original piece was made, the design remains a timeless symbol of attachment, whether love or friendship. fm

True Blue Amsterdam is home to some of the most exciting innovators in denim, from world-class jeans designers to sustainable fabric pioneers.

Ginger Rose Clark reveals the names to know

F

or denim connoisseurs, Amsterdam has become something of a pilgrimage, like Japan and the United States.

The city has made a name for itself as a young, forward-thinking denim capital. Its ties to denim have often been attributed to the Dutch casual style of dressing and the nation’s love for wearing jeans. While this may have been the catalyst, the city has become a hotspot for denim brands and experts. There’s the Jean School, the world’s only denim school; the annual Denim Days festival; the Kingpins denim trade show; and a whole fleet of denim labels. G-Star Raw, Denham The Jeanmaker, Scotch & Soda and 49

Kings of Indigo are some of the exciting brands born and bred here over the past few decades.

Founded in 1989, G-Star Raw is an Amsterdam-based brand with a milestone anniversary in the offing, as brand director Sean Peron explains. ‘We set out 30 years ago to create innovative denim that could resonate with all kinds of people and generations. It’s been an amazing journey to get from that point to where we are today.’ The Dutch capital serves as the location for the brand’s impressive headquarters, but from here G-Star takes an international outlook. ‘Although G-Star originated in Amsterdam, we consider ourselves global

citizens,’ explains Peron. ‘Our inspirations are worldwide – progressive, functional design is what gets us excited – but we are quite happy to see the same entrepreneurial blue blood that runs through our veins come to life in other brands that call Amsterdam their home.’

One such brand is Denham The Jeanmaker, also simply known as Denham. Founder Jason Denham moved to Amsterdam in the 1990s and founded his namesake brand here in 2008. The premise was simple: Denham aimed to create ‘a premium, exciting, international denim brand’. Fast-forward a decade and Denham The Jeanmaker has celebrated its 10th

anniversary with a series of exciting projects. ‘I’m proud that Denham is one of the pioneers that helped to make Amsterdam the denim capital that it is today,’ reflects the founder.

‘This is the HQ of our brand and we do everything to support the Amsterdam denim city.’ Indeed, the city is not only home to the Denham headquarters, which are located in a beautiful traditional Amsterdam townhouse, but also counts six of the brand’s 50 worldwide stores.

This dynamic of an Amsterdam base combined with constant dialogue with the rest of the world is shared by Scotch & Soda. Founded in 1985, the label takes inspiration from globetrotting but these ideas come to life in Amsterdam: a

converted former church located by one of the city’s many canals is the setting for the brand’s atmospheric design studio.

As a fabric with its roots in workwear, you might think that denim is a limited – or limiting – material to work with. On the contrary. ‘It’s the most sustainable, hard-wearing, versatile and interesting fabric to work with,’ explains Denham. ‘It’s been around since 1850 and today it performs, feels and looks better than ever thanks to the advanced technology in denim.’

Similarly, G-Star Raw’s Peron highlights how denim’s apparent simplicity is precisely what makes it exciting. ‘The beauty of denim lies in the infinite potential that the globalblue.com

fabric holds. It’s a blank canvas that excites us each time we work with it,’ he says. ‘It’s our job to shape denim into something new that will surprise our audience – a new jeans design, an unexpected art object, or a sustainable garment. It’s a challenge that will keep us busy for at least 30 more years.’

These brands have embraced the potential such a simple fabric offers: it’s all about the detail, as they constantly seek to reinvent each and every aspect in order to create something new. Denim has been an integral part of fashion for decades, so innovation has become key to ensuring its longevity.

In light of this, sustainability has recently become a key focus for

30 | F E AT U R E

Amsterdam’s denim brands remain firmly rooted in the city denim brands across the world. ‘We see sustainability as both a requirement to engage in business in a responsible way, and as a means by which we can continue to innovate in denim design,’ says Peron. G-Star Raw’s approach, he says, is defined by ‘the conceptual challenge of what denim can become through the lens of innovative sustainable design.

That’s how we have been able to create the most sustainable indigo dyeing solution on the planet this year, as well as create “renewed denim”: new jeans made using recycled G-Star Raw jeans.’

Always keen to push the boundaries, G-Star Raw has continued to explore sustainability in the form of a collaboration with

Jaden Smith. ‘He’s a multitalented designer, musician, and artist who is a true pioneer and advocate of sustainability for his generation,’ says Peron. ‘We’ve created a new sustainable denim capsule collection that we’re dropping in AW18 that will be very exciting.’

Now more than ever, Amsterdam’s brands are pioneers in the denim field – in the same spirit in which they were founded. While their global vision has ensured their success, they remain firmly rooted in the city and, despite the many internationally important innovations they are working on, this will remain the case. In the words of Jason Denham: ‘The Netherlands will always be the heart of our brand’

26: TRUE BLUE НОВЫЙ СИНИЙ В Амстердаме бум денима. Джинджер Роуз Кларк рассказывает о главных голландских именах в этой сфере, от дизайнеров джинсов до производителей экологичных тканей Для ценителей хороший джинсов Амстердам давно стал местом своеобразного паломничества, как Япония или США. Постепенно этот город превратился в молодую и смелую столицу денима. Чаще всего это связывают с голландской манерой непринужденно одеваться и почти национальной любовью к джинсам. Пожалуй, это могло послужить катализатором, но гораздо интереснее результат: Амстердам стал центром притяжения джинсовых брендов и экспертов. Здесь работает единственная в мире Jean School, проводятся ежегодный фестиваль Denim Days и выставка Kingpins и процветают бесчисленные джинсовые бренды. В числе самых ярких и успешных проектов последних десятилетий можно назвать марки G-Star Raw, Denham The Jeanmaker, Scotch & Soda и Kings of Indigo. Бренд G-Star Raw был основан в 1989 году в Амстердаме и вскоре отпразднует юбилей. Бренд-директор Шон Перон считает, что компания подходит к этой вехе с хорошими результатами: «30 лет

52

назад мы решили создавать актуальный деним, который бы находил отклик у всех народов и поколений. Мы проделали невероятный путь, чтобы прийти к тому, кем являемся сегодня». Штаб-квартира бренда по-прежнему расположена в голландской столице, но во всем остальном G-Star полагается на космополитичный образ жизни: «Несмотря на то, что G-Star появился в Амстердаме, мы считаем себя гражданами мира. Идеи и вдохновение приходят отовсюду: прогрессивный и функциональный дизайн – вот что заставляет фантазию работать. Но в то же время мы счастливы ощущать кровное родство с другими «синими» брендами, выросшими в Амстердаме». Один из этих родственных брендов – Denham The Jeanmaker. Его основатель Джейсон Денхам переехал в Амстердам в 1990-е и открыл компанию под своим именем в 2008 году. Им двигало желание создать «интересный и качественный международный джинсовый бренд». Прошло десять лет – и вот уже Denham The Jeanmaker отмечает свое 10-летие серией успешных проектов. «Я горжусь тем, что Denham стал одним из первопроходцев, превративших Амстердам в джинсовую столицу, – размышляет Джейсон Денхам. – Здесь находится штаб-квартира моего бренда, и мы делаем все возможное, чтобы поддерживать этот престижный статус города». Видимо, поэтому он не только разместил центральный офис компании в старинном амстердамском особняке, но и открыл здесь шесть собственных магазинов globalblue.ru

– из 50 по всему миру. Сочетание амстердамских корней и диалога с остальным миром стало плодотворной почвой и для Scotch & Soda. Бренд был основан в 1985 году и целиком посвящен путешествиям. Но именно в Амстердаме идеи находят воплощение: дизайн-студия компании занимает здание бывшей церкви на одном из многочисленных городских каналов. Изначально деним использовался для рабочей одежды, и можно предположить, что он несколько ограничивает творческий полет. Но это вовсе не так: «Это самая экологичная, прочная, многогранная и интересная ткань, – комментирует Денхам. – Она появилась еще в 1850-е, и благодаря развитию технологий сегодня смотрится и воспринимается намного лучше». Шон Перон из G-Star Raw подчеркивает, что именно видимая простота и делает деним столь привлекательным: «Красота ткани – в ее бесконечном потенциале. Чистое полотно стимулирует фантазию всякий раз, когда мы приступаем к работе. Наша задача – придать материалу форму, превратить его в нечто новое, чтобы удивить аудиторию: будь то новая модель джинсов, необычный арт-объект или экологичная одежда. Это вызов, и мы собираемся принимать его еще как минимум 30 лет». Эти бренды по максимуму используют потенциал, заложенный в столь простой ткани. Они уделяют внимание деталям: чтобы создать нечто новое, дизайнеры постоянно пересматривают каждый элемент. На многие годы деним стал неотъ-

и защитник экологичного образа жизни. Вместе мы создали капсульную коллекцию денима и включили ее в предложение осень-зима 2018. Это будет очень необычно!» Амстердамские бренды с самого начала стремились к передовым открытиям в джинсовой сфере, и теперь они уверенно удерживают лидерство. К успеху их, бесспорно, ведет космополитичный образ жизни, но в то же время они прочно укоренены в родном городе. И эту верность они сохранят, какие бы новации мирового уровня ни вводили. Джейсон Денхам говорит об этом со всей прямотой: «Нидерланды всегда будут в самом сердце нашего бренда». емлемым элементом гардероба, а постоянные новации – гарантом долговечности. В свете этого экологичность также остается одной из важнейших тем в этой сфере. «Мы считаем экологичнось обязательным требованием к ответственному бизнесу и одновременно новым стимулом для дизайна», – делится Перон. По его словам, G-Star Raw воспринимает это как «концептуальный вызов»: «В поисках ответа, каким может быть деним сквозь призму экологичности, в этом году мы разработали самые безопасные красители индиго на планете. Кроме того, мы создали «возобновляемые джинсы»: это новые джинсы G-Star Raw, сделанные из переработанных». Сотрудничество с Джейден Смит также развивает эту тему: «Это человек многих талантов: он и дизайнер, и музыкант, и художник. А еще – истинный приверженец

TERJEMAHAN BAHASA INDONESIA 26: TRUE BLUE BIRU SEJATI

Amsterdam adalah rumah bagi beberapa inovator paling menggairahkan di bidang denim Belanda, dari perancang jins kelas dunia hingga pelopor kain lestari.

Ginger Rose Clark mengungkap nama-nama yang patut diketahui Bagi ahli cicip denim, Amsterdam sudah menjadi semacam peziarahan, seperti Jepang dan Amerika Serikat.

globalblue.com

Kota ini mengukir nama untuk dirinya sendiri sebagai ibu kota denim muda dan berpikiran maju.

Ikatannya dengan denim sering dikaitkan dengan gaya berpakaian kasual Belanda dan kesukaan bangsa ini untuk mengenakan jins. Walau hal itu mungkin menjadi katalis, kota ini sudah mengetahui cara mengubah diri menjadi titik panas bagi merek dan pakar denim. Ada Jean School, satu-satunya sekolah denim sedunia; festival tahunan Denim Days; pameran dagang Kingpins; dan satu armada penuh label denim. G-Star Raw, Denham The Jeanmaker, Scotch & Soda, dan Kings of Indigo adalah sebagian dari merek-merek menggairahkan yang lahir dan dibesarkan di sini selama beberapa dekade terakhir.

Didirikan di tahun 1989, G-Star Raw adalah merek berbasis Amsterdam yang sedang menjelang sebuah ulang tahun titik prestasinya, seperti yang dijelaskan direktur merek Sean Peron. ‘Kami memulai 30 tahun silam untuk menciptakan denim yang inovatif, yang dapat diterima oleh segala kalangan dan generasi.

Ini perjalanan yang menakjubkan untuk sampai dari titik itu ke titik kami berada hari ini.’ Ibu kota Belanda ini berfungsi sebagai lokasi bagi kantor pusat yang mengesankan dari merek ini, namun dari sini, G-Star mengambil titik pandang internasional. ‘Walau G-Star bermula di Amsterdam, kami menganggap diri kami warga global,’ ujar Peron.

‘Inspirasi kami mendunia – desain fungsional progresif adalah yang membuat kami bergairah – namun, kami cukup senang untuk melihat

55

darah “biru” kewirausahaan yang sama dengan yang mengalir di nadi kami juga menjadi hidup di merek-merek lain yang menyebut Amsterdam rumah mereka.’

Salah satu merek tersebut adalah Denham The Jeanmaker. Sang pendiri Jason Denham berpindah ke Amsterdam di tahun 1990-an dan berlanjut dengan mendirikan merek yang sama nama dengannya di tahun 2008. Alasannya sederhana: Denham bermaksud menciptakan ‘merek denim yang premium, menggairahkan, dan internasional’.

Maju cepat satu dasawarsa dan Denham The Jeanmaker sudah merayakan ulang tahun ke-10 dengan serangkaian proyek yang menggairahkan. ‘Saya bangga bahwa Denham adalah salah satu pelopor yang membantu menjadikan Amsterdam ibu kota denim seperti saat ini,’ renung sang pendiri. ‘Ini markas merek kami dan segalanya kami lakukan demi mendukung kota denim Amsterdam.’ Malah, kota ini bukan hanya rumah bagi kantor pusat Denham, yang berlokasi di sebuah rumah bandar (townhouse) Amsterdam tradisional yang cantik, tetapi juga menampung enam dari 50 toko merek ini di seluruh dunia.

Dinamika dari berpangkalan di Amsterdam yang berkombinasi dengan dialog terus-menerus dengan bagian selebihnya dunia ikut dirasakan oleh Scotch & Soda.

Didirikan di tahun 1985, label ini mengambil inspirasi dari keliling globe, namun semua gagasan itu menjadi hidup di Amsterdam: sebuah bekas gereja yang dipugar pada salah satu kanal kota adalah lingkungan

bagi studio desain pembangkit suasana merek ini.

Sebagai kain yang berakar pada pakaian kerja, Anda mungkin berpikir bahwa denim adalah bahan yang terbatas – atau membatasi – untuk dikerjakan. Kebalikannya. ‘Ini kain yang paling lestari, tahan usang, serba guna, dan menarik untuk dikerjakan,’ jelas Denham. ‘Kain ini sudah ada sejak tahun 1850 dan hari ini berkinerja, terasa, dan terlihat lebih bagus daripada selama ini berkat teknologi canggih di bidang denim.’

Dengan senada, Peron dari G-Star Raw menyorot betapa kesederhanaan yang mencolok dari denim adalah persis yang menjadikannya menggairahkan.

‘Kecantikan denim terletak pada potensi tak terhingga yang dikandung kain ini. Kain ini kanvas kosong yang menggairahkan kami tiap kali mengerjakannya,’ tukasnya. ‘Tugas kamilah untuk membentuk denim menjadi sesuatu yang baru, yang akan mengejutkan khalayak kami – desain jins baru, benda seni yang tidak terduga, atau busana yang lestari. Itu sebuah tantangan yang akan menjaga kami tetap sibuk selama paling sedikit 30 tahun lagi.’ Merek-merek ini sudah merangkul potensi yang ditawarkan oleh kain yang begitu sederhana: masalahnya terletak pada detail, sambil mereka terus-menerus mencoba menemukan ulang setiap dan semua aspek guna menciptakan sesuatu yang baru. Denim sudah menjadi bagian tidak terpisahkan dari mode selama beberapa dekade, sehingga inovasi menjadi kunci untuk memastikan usia panjangnya.

Dengan mengingat hal ini,

56

kelestarian baru-baru ini menjadi fokus utama bagi merek-merek denim di seluruh dunia. ‘Kami melihat kelestarian sebagai kebutuhan untuk melibatkan bisnis secara bertanggung jawab sekaligus sarana yang dengannya kami bisa terus berinovasi dalam desain denim,’ ujar Peron. Pendekatan G-Star Raw, ujarnya, ditentukan oleh ‘tantangan konseptual berupa apa yang bisa dibuat dari denim menurut kacamata desain lestari yang inovatif.

Itulah cara kami tahun ini mampu menciptakan solusi pencelupan indigo yang paling lestari di planet ini, serta menciptakan “denim terbarukan”: jins baru yang dibuat dari jins G-Star daur ulang.’ Selalu ingin mendorong batas-batas, G-Star Raw terus menjelajahi kelestarian berupa kolaborasi dengan Jaden Smith. ‘Dia seorang desainer, musisi, dan seniman multitalenta yang merupakan pelopor dan pembela sejati kelestarian bagi generasinya,’ ujar Peron. ‘Kami sudah menciptakan koleksi kapsul denim lestari baru yang kami turunkan di AW18 yang akan sangat menggairahkan.’

Kini, lebih daripada selama ini, merek-merek Amsterdam adalah pelopor di bidang denim – dalam semangat yang sama dengan ketika didirikan. Sementara visi global mereka sudah memastikan kesuksesan, mereka tetap mengakar dengan kukuh di kota ini dan, sekalipun ada banyak inovasi penting secara internasional yang sedang mereka kerjakan, fakta itu tetap berlaku. Dalam kata-kata Jason Denham: ‘Belanda akan selalu ada di jantung merek kami.’
