G-Star RAW (commonly called G-Star) is a Dutch designer clothing company, founded by Jos van Tilburg in Amsterdam in 1989, which produces urban clothing. Models for the brand include Liv Tyler, Mathias Ranegie, Girls' Generation, World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen, Clémence Poésy and musician Sergio Pizzorno. It was showcased at the New York Fashion Week from 2008 to 2011.^[1]

With over 20 years’ experience in the luxury industry, Monards is Melbourne's leading retailer for Swiss watches, luxury jewellery and accessories. Crown Melbourne’s Monards is the brand’s second store, offering a premium and wide-ranging selection of luxury Swiss watches over an impressive two levels.

G-Star was originally named Gap Star but decided to change their name when going international to avoid confusion with the already established Gap. The brand specializes in making raw denim—an unwashed, untreated denim. G-Star is influenced by military clothing. Inspirations of their designs come from vintage military apparel from around the world. Some examples include special pockets constructions and the use of trims.

G-Star's flagship stores are located in New York City, Boston, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Edinburgh, Melbourne, Sydney, Shanghai, Paris, London, Cardiff, Milan, Santiago de Chile, Mumbai and the Netherlands as its home base in the most luxurious shopping street of Amsterdam, the P.C. Hooftstraat. In total, G-Star has more than 6,500 selling points worldwide.

Brand history[edit]

G-Star was founded in 1989, specializing in denim clothing in the Netherlands. Jeans, shirts, and other articles of clothing were produced. In 1996, G-Star introduced raw denim jeans, which were untreated and directly from the factory.

Collaborations[edit]

In February 2014, artist and music producer Pharrell Williams announced a collaboration between G-Star RAW and his textile company Bionic Yarn called 'RAW for the Oceans,' a collection of denim made from recycled plastic that is found in the ocean. The project was presented at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.^[2]

In 2018, artist Jaden Smith also announced a collaboration with G-Star RAW

In 2019, Formula 1 Driver Max Verstappen Announced his partnership with G-Star RAW^[3]

When people think of Australia, they’ll often think of Crocodile Dundee, shrimp on the barbie, boomerangs, and Men at Work. But they’re known for much more.

One of the things they’re known for is gambling.

About 10% of all revenue in the country comes from gambling. The citizens of the country spend about $20 billion a year, which averages out to about $1,000 per person.

Part of the popularity of gambling in Australia is that winnings aren’t taxed by the government. These winnings are untaxed for three main reasons:

Crown Melbourne

• Gambling isn’t considered work; it’s treated as a recreational activity
• The Australian government views gains from gambling activities as a result of good luck. They also believe that winnings will negate losses in other gambling sessions
• The government does tax gambling operators, so taxing players is unnecessary

The numbers say that the gambling industry is booming. You can find over 60 casinos in the country, not to mention 30 horse racing tracks, eight bingo halls, and several sportsbook betting operations.

On the horizon for Australia are some of the biggest casino-resorts in the world.

In Sydney, a $1.5 billion casino is under construction. The 75-story hotel called Crown Sydney at Barangaroo is expected to have close to ½ million square feet of casino floor space and will open with close to 500 gaming tables. It is set to open in 2020.

On New Year’s Day 2022, the $3 billion Star Brisbane casino development is expected to open. The property, which replaced 10 blocks of businesses, will contain five hotel-resorts, some towering over 25 stories. So far, the government has approved 1,500 “pokies” or slot machines, and at least 1,000 more are expected to be approved and added before the grand opening. The casino is expected to have several hundred gaming tables.

A third casino project, the Gold Coast Integrated Resort, is in the planning stages in Broadbeach, Queensland. It is anticipated that this resort will cost approximately $2 billion. No details have been reached with the government on the size of the resort or the scope of the games in the casino.

In addition to casinos, a number of establishments have “pokies” or slot machines. These establishments include bars, pubs, and clubs (sports clubs, social clubs, and clubs devoted to active and retired military). The pokies give easy access to anyone who wishes to gamble.

A number of casinos in Australia are on cruise ships. Australia, being surrounded by ocean, is a prime destination and acts as a home port for many cruise ships. The ships have an added advantage of not having to follow Australian state or federal law once in international waters, so many ships won’t have the casinos open while in port.

Conclusion

Gambling is a big deal in Australia. The most common games are “pokies” or slot machines. They can be found in bars and clubs all over the country, although some states like Tasmania are trying to curb their availability due to the large number of gamblers and possible addiction issues that may occur.

Because gambling is so prevalent in Australia, casinos have been “upping the ante” and creating these huge integrated resorts to be a one-stop shop for tourists to take advantage of.

Several of the listings in the post are part of complexes that have more than one hotel on the property and share such things as shopping centers, restaurant enclaves, and entertainment venues. So when booking a hotel, be sure it is the one you want, as each will have a slightly different name.

For those making the trip to the land down under, be sure to bring your passport, as it will be the only way to prove your age. Most states require that gamblers and those wanting to consume alcohol in the lounges and bars be at least 18 years old. That may differ from state to state, so be sure to check before you go.
