For the campaign Liv wears pieces from the women’s Low-T mini-collection – a range designed for the strong, confident and sophisticated modern woman. Liv Tyler  with Her striking looks and assured, independent style perfectly embodies the modern G-Star woman. She reinforces G-Star’s core theme of “RAW Elegance”.

The Low-T collection fuses G-Star DNA with the unique style of  Liv Tyler, to create a range that embraces the look and feel of the modern G-Star woman; cool, sophisticated and controlled.
Skinny, tapered and loose-tapered denim fits are executed in soft, feminine fabrics, with a color palette ranging from fresh blue to a shiny, leather-look black. All three denim silhouettes have a longer inseam to look great with high heels, and are available in flattering, soft-stretch denim fabrics, as well as Elastene-impregnated comfort denim.

G-Star’s traditional fusion of raw and elegant elements can be seen in the contrast of denim skirts in a broad selection of washes and finishes with sensual tops in a restrained colour palette and super-lightweight fabrics, including the sleeveless Low-T Top and the Low-T Dress Shirt with its half-length sleeve and neck-tie detailing. A crepe bomber jacket and boxy-cut dinner jacket complete the range.
