Guess: Bags, Jeans & Statement T-Shirts

Guess – The American brand Guess and its famous logo is probably known to everyone. In this article we will go into the foundation of the successful luxury brand, its unique advertising campaigns and its successful jeans, bags and accessories collections. In addition, we will introduce you to the most successful collaborations of the luxury brand with international top stars.

Guess: From denim to lifestyle brand

When you hear the Guess brand today, most people probably think of its beautiful, classic bags and accessories, but that wasn’t always the case: when the brand was founded in 1981 by four French brothers Paul, George, Armand and Maurice Marciano in Los Angeles, it first started out as a denim brand. The very first product of the brand was a slim fit stonewashed jeans , which was ankle length and whose model name is “Marylin”. This jeans model was so popular in the American market that the produced quantities of the jeans were completely sold out within a few hours. In the first year after its foundation, Guess had already managed to be represented in all major American department stores. With their jeans designs they managed to interpret the jeans as a garment in a more elegant and sexier way.

Advertising campaigns: Supermodels and Claudia Schiffer

Guess managed to attract a lot of attention for their collections, especially with their advertising campaigns, and was able to gain a lot of recognition as a brand in a short time: The campaigns are sexy and play with the old Hollywood flair. While the very first Guess Girl was still an unknown French model, true icons like Eva Herzigova, Naomi Campbell or Paris Hilton followed afterwards. Especially the advertising with Claudia Schiffer is considered one of the most famous and impressive Guess campaigns: She not only modeled once for Guess, but was also allowed to stand in front of the camera 30 years later for the anniversary collection for the American label after 1989.

Guess logo: McDonalds advertising as inspiration

Everyone knows it, but hardly anyone knows how it came about: The famous Guess logo was invented by the Marciano brothers, who were inspired by a McDonald’s billboard that read “Guess what’s in our new Big Mac? Since they wanted to add a question mark to the Guess, they designed a triangle style logo to stylishly surround both the question mark and the word Guess. The logo has become an absolute hit over the years!

Guess bags: Embellish the everyday and the evening

If you’re looking for a new bag that suits you and your needs perfectly, then Guess is the perfect place for you!
