Etched denim

Etching on denim

Rembrandt was not only a great painter, he was also a phenomenal etcher. For example, he not only printed his prints on regular paper, but also experimented with other materials, such as parchment and Japanese paper. This was the reason for G-STAR to give a modern interpretation to his innovative way of experimenting.

The designers chose Rembrandt's self-portrait from 1639 as a basis and used the latest laser technology to investigate which types of denim, washings and coatings yielded the best results. In addition, the artworks were adjusted a little bit. Sometimes with the help of AI. The Etched Denim exhibition shows some of Rembrandt's famous prints and also shows the research into the denim collection.
