G-Star RAW Just Rewired the Art World with a Denim gorilla

The Denim Gorilla isn’t just a sculpture, it’s a full-on flex of what happens when high fashion, fine art, and bold imagination collide. Crafted by Dutch taxidermy duo Darwin, Sinke & van Tongeren — known for their anatomical precision and haunting beauty — this isn’t your average art piece. It’s muscle, tension, and movement, all cut from G-Star RAW’s signature denim and stitched into the shape of one of nature’s most powerful beings.



Standing like a marble god mid-motion, the gorilla’s pose feels plucked from a Renaissance sketchbook — all raw energy and poise. But this time, instead of bone and sinew, it’s 3D-printed form, steel, glue, and denim that bring it to life. The result? A primate that’s part classical sculpture, part fashion statement, part quiet rebellion.

There’s no gimmick here — just a genuine rethinking of materials and meaning. It’s taxidermy, reimagined. Design, pushed to its limits. And denim, transformed into something mythic.

The Denim Gorilla is both beast and blueprint — a tribute not only to nature’s design, but to where art and fashion might go next when we stop following the rules.
