The following year, the Marciano brothers were joined by brothers Armand and Paul who were previous owners of twelve retail stores in France. During the 80s, the products sold in Marcianos’ store were mainly jeans that were named Guess and were designed by Georges. The denims were given that name because it was simply easier for the brothers to pronounce. These jeans were designed to fit tightly and featured zippers at the ankles. First of its kind, their products were stone-washed, which gave them a softer feel and lighter colours compared to the typical denim jeans. On the other hand, it also featured the iconic Guess triangle at the back pocket.
