Gas

Gas is an italian brand of prêt-à-porter produced by the Grotto company, established near Vicenza in 1986. Denim and sportswear are the main lines, with more than 6 million pieces produced each year and a total of 3,000 points-of-sale. Gas has a strong market in Europe, and is growing in Canada and the Far East. Milan is the brand’s display city. After the opening of a showroom on via Tortona in April 2003, a two-floor GasStore was opened on Corso di Porta Ticinese. There are several lines: the Blue Jeans Basic, which is the core business; the Urban, with pieces for everyday city life; the most sophisticated, which is Blue Label; and the high-tech Active, which includes underwear and accessories.
