The new store unveiled Italian jeans that combine relaxed, effortless style with sensual confidence and extraordinary heritage. Founded by Claudio Grotto and still owned and managed by the Grotto family, Gas is handled locally by Black Cat, Inc.
Principals from GAS Far East Ltd. in Hong Kong – Christine Lam and Connie Wu – flew in for the day to enjoy the afternoon with their guests and present the newest addition to their chain of stores. They also took the opportunity to announce that GAS will be opening flagship stores in Hong Kong and Florence in the coming year.

How would you style your casual day outfit for a night ensemble?
I would wear heels! It gives me more confidence since I’m a little girl.
PATRICK TY
Who normally polices your style?
I don’t trust anyone else’s opinion when it comes to styling for myself or other people. If I feel or think that something is not right or aesthetically incompatible with my taste, I will never give it a go.

How long does it take for you to decide on an outfit for a first date?
I usually buy a new dress when I’m going out on a first date but it doesn’t take me long to scour for one.

What makes jeans an important part of your wardrobe?
Jeans because they’re a staple. I wear them every day and love the fact that I can dress them up or down depending on where I’m going.
MEL CUEVAS
How did jeans evolve into a glamourous style?
Jeans used to be worn strictly on casual occasions but have become a versatile item you can wear from day to night. You can now dress them up with a jacket, beaded top and heels or even wear them under a dress.
CONNIE WU
How many pairs of jeans should a fashionista have in his or her closet?
I think it depends on personal use of denim products in your life. I think one can easily have 20 pairs of denim pants, and even consider having denim skirts and jackets and shirts. In fact you can own up to 50 or more items. Denim is fashionable. It’s an iconic product that can be mixed and matched with all different garments. Personally, I think denim products are about quality and not quantity.
LUIS ESPIRITU
Why do loose-fit jeans look sexy?
It’s all about the man wearing the jeans and not the jeans wearing the man.
CHRISTINE LAM
What are the "don’ts" of wearing jeans?
Basically, jeans go well with anything, especially now that jeans are gaining higher and higher acceptance in the fashion world. We can team a pair of jeans with a sexy glittering top for a dressed-up look and a simple tee for a carefree day. Jeans are very versatile. For a total denim look, there is even the option of matching a denim-wash with a colored denim. However, tone on tone is a safer option. Jeans are always a core item. Gas Jeans offers the fashion world a range of stylish denim selections to avoid any denim "don’ts."
RJ LEDESMA
Who do you think looks sexiest in jeans?
My girlfriend, because I think she has a great pair of legs that ride up to her neck and a pair of hemispherical buttocks that slide snugly into a pair of Gas Jeans.
MIGUEL CELDRAN
Who should not wear jeans?
I think jeans are for everyone.
