G Force A/W 1995 Jumper with DNA Chromosome Design

G Force A/W 1995 Jumper with DNA Chromosome Design

G Force was a Nottingham brand creating unique knitwear from 1980 - the 90s known for their graphic knitwear. 

The collection this jumper is from is based around research laboratories, with graphics designed around what you would see under the microscope. Cell structure and DNA were used heavily for the knitwear, labelling, used test tubes and science lab kit. The branding was G Force Laboratories, a bit of a pun on Laboratoires Garnier. Other than the knitwear fabrics were cottons based around old school lab coats, paper fabrics you would find in hospital disposable garments or PPE but laminated to give wearability, bandages, plastics, blister packs, plastic zip wallets used as pockets, plastic strips to protect areas on the garments, lots of garments to be worn in layers and the usual over engineered construction.

G Force's iconic shop was featured in World of Interiors ( images attached)  and pieces were worn by the likes of Cher (she had a knitted jacket with leather sleeves).
