GUESS quickly became known for its iconic black-and-white advertisements and innovative designs. Over the years, the brand has expanded its product range to include clothing, accessories, and fragrances. GUESS Originals is a sub-line that focuses on reimagining classic pieces with a modern twist.

The Piece
