Guess: History of the denim label

After a vacation in America, the Marciano brothers decided to settle in the US city of Los Angeles. There they opened a small fashion label. To bring their creation to the market, the four brothers sent a pair of jeans and a handwritten note to the branches of various department stores. The first 24 pairs of jeans were sold out within three hours.

Mixing Europe & America: That works well?

Despite the initial success of the label, the general project was initially viewed with skepticism. The brothers mixed typical US and European styles. Jeans had previously been more working-class clothing and the washed-out look was unusual in the USA. However, the brothers took their cue from US styles. The jeans were inspired by an American film with Marilyn Monroe, in which she wears slim-fitting jeans for riding.

The brothers copied this model and processed the fabric of the pants in the so-called “stone washed” style. This means that the jeans get a washed out and slightly faded look in some places. In addition, there were zippers on the legs, which made for an extra slim look of the jeans. In addition, there was a patch of the logo on the back pocket.

• Mix: typical US & European styles
• Inspiration: a US-American film
• “Stone washed” style: washed out & slightly faded look.
• Narrow shape of the jeans (e.g. by zippers on the legs)
• Logo patch on the back pocket

Supermodels: Claudia Schiffer, Gigi Hadid & Co.

That Guess continued to be so successful is probably due to the marketing strategy of Paul Marciano. He developed sensual photos, which put the jeans with a lot of naked skin and a recognizable black and white look in scene. The photos were often shot outside.

Just about everyone can identify with simple products like jeans. You probably have a few in your closet too. It’s a similar story with natural backgrounds. They remind us of everyday situations. The identification then often rather inspires to buy.

The job as a “Guess Girl” is highly coveted among models. Supermodels like Carla Bruni, Claudia Schiffer, Adriana Lima, Paris Hilton, Gigi Hadid, Hailey Baldwin and Naomi Campbell have already been photographed for the fashion label. Even famous singers like Camila Cabello and Joe Jonas have been featured in campaigns. Here you can see Claudia Schiffer for Guess.

Logo: Inspired by a Bic Mac ad

The brand’s famous logo was inspired by a billboard. It read “Guess what’s in our new Big Mac?” – translated as “Guess what’s in our new Big Mac?”. This was not far from the Marcianos’ first store. The “Guess” part became a catchphrase and was adopted as the brand name by the brothers. They decided to place the question mark under the word and thus the familiar triangular logo was born. The addition of “Washed Jeans” was added for the first product – a pair of washed out jeans.
