Guess Jeans\u2019 outpost wasn\u2019t only a hub for post-midnight debauchery; it was a litmus test for how casual \u2014 and Americana-tinged \u2014 fashion at the biggest festival in the United States is right now. <\/p>\n<p>While Coachella pulls in the biggest names in music from around the world, it is through and through a California festival, which makes Guess Jeans\u2019 presence a no-brainer. \u201cWe\u2019re one of the few legacy heritage brands out of Los Angeles,\u201d says Nicolai Marciano, who oversees Guess Jeans as well as their premium label Guess USA. \u201cFor me, cultural alignment has always been a part of my ethos from a marketing standpoint. Coachella is one of those moments that&#8217;s hyper local to us, but global to the world at the same time.\u201d Before I made it to the Guess Compound in Indio (more on that later), I stopped by their original, full-time compound in downtown Los Angeles. Across four buildings, all the Guess brands are designed, reworked, and perfected, complete with a mini-mall setup of their various storefronts where final merchandising edits are on display before they appear in any of their stores. <\/p>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR\">\n<div class=\"QYV\">\n<div class=\"uES fEt\">\n<div class=\"uT7\">\n<div class=\"FDO\">\n<div class=\"vmZ XJ- jWP\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/4\/14\/1ec822c2\/quen-blackwell-true-whitaker.jpeg?w=374&amp;dpr=2\" alt class=\"EdX\"><\/div><figcaption class=\"MO9\">True Whitakes &amp; Quen Blackwell<cite>Courtesy of GUESS<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<div class=\"FDO\">\n<div class=\"vmZ XJ- jWP\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/4\/14\/eafc9e63\/true_day2_001.jpg?w=374&amp;dpr=2\" alt class=\"EdX\"><\/div><figcaption class=\"MO9\">True Whitaker<cite>Courtesy of GUESS<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<div class=\"FDO\">\n<div class=\"vmZ XJ- jWP\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/4\/14\/a80b2529\/0y5a3145.jpg?w=374&amp;dpr=2\" alt class=\"EdX\"><\/div><figcaption class=\"MO9\">Amelia Gray<cite>Courtesy of GUESS<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<div class=\"FDO\">\n<div class=\"vmZ XJ- jWP\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/4\/14\/546a9b65\/teyana-taylor-02.jpeg?w=374&amp;dpr=2\" alt class=\"EdX\"><\/div><figcaption class=\"MO9\">Teyana Taylor<cite>Courtesy of GUESS<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"yOD GLK\">\n<div class=\"ki0 kpP\">\n<div class=\"MNV\"><\/div>\n<p><label for=\"lightboxCheckbox-461933228\" class=\"QNb y8V St5\"><button aria-label=\"open lightbox\" class=\"kMc\"><\/button><\/label><\/div>\n<div class=\"C1C\">\n<div class=\"ZXG\">\n<div class=\"F6c\"><button class=\"ikQ VkL\"><\/button>1 \/ 4<button class=\"ikQ Olc\"><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"LOc\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"igl f5y\"><button class=\"ikQ Xfx\"><span class=\"Od1\">INFO<\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"itG\">1 \/ 4<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Marciano oversees two of the youth-oriented labels, which involve both meticulous archival research \u2014 one entire warehouse is dedicated to their archive, which spans from 1981 to today \u2014 and breaking new ground in terms of style and sustainability. Their now-signature Airwash technique takes lazering to apply distressing and washes to their denim, sustainably and in half the time. \u201c45 years later, we&#8217;re readdressing what we became famous for and almost flipping that completely while keeping that same aesthetic, look, and finish,\u201d Marciano tells me, gushing about his love for product development. The Spring 2026 Guess Jeans collection has, yes, lots of baggy, perfectly low-rise jeans on offer, but also taps into the mystique of collabs, with a Hysteric Glamour mashup bringing Japanese and American aesthetics together, as Marciano says: \u201cI know enough to understand where we can push the envelope and where we can create new stories.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR CEt\">\n<figure class=\"Qf5 E1M\">\n<div style=\"padding-top:116.7885%\" class=\"vmZ F8Y ap2\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/4\/14\/fa5ad11b\/amelia-gray-hamlin-nicolai.jpeg?w=414&amp;h=484&amp;fit=crop&amp;crop=faces&amp;dpr=2\" alt class=\"EdX\"><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Yte pt7 okb\"><figcaption class=\"rv9 TrI\"><cite class=\"hW6\">Courtesy of GUESS<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Speaking of new stories: I got a few to put under my belt (and into a locked diary) when I stepped foot onto the Guess Compound in Indio, a sprawling 16-house modernist fever dream with a Wellness House (I opted for an energy IV alongside Evan Mock) and a party house, which was the place to be on both Friday and Sunday night of the festival. If <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nylon.com\/entertainment\/rhode-justin-bieber-collab-spotwear\" class=\"T3D\">Hailey and Justin Bieber<\/a> are the queen and king of Coachella 2026, Marciano and girlfriend Gray might just be the prince and princess. Marciano held court at both parties, where everyone from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nylon.com\/fashion\/fashion-news-mar-19-2026\" class=\"T3D\">Anya Taylor-Joy<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nylon.com\/fashion\/emma-chamberlain-jean-paul-gaultier-couture-backless-shirt-look\" class=\"T3D\">Emma Chamberlain<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nylon.com\/entertainment\/jennie-mad-cool-festival-2026-lineup\" class=\"T3D\">Jennie<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nylon.com\/nylon-nights\/quenlin-blackwell-coach-grwm-nyfw-fw26\" class=\"T3D\">Quen Blackwell<\/a> danced until the sun started peeking over the San Jacinto Mountains. Everyone jokes about \u201cnot a phone in sight\u201d- style parties, but the freedom of both nights\u2019 revelry (with actually no flash or recording happen) delivered on pure capital-F fun for everyone inside the party house. <\/p>\n<div class=\"sWr iGR gjV OXU\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"uES zZ8 fEt\">\n<div class=\"NVT\">\n<div class=\"iza\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"uSn\">\n<div class=\"vmZ XJ- lOK\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/4\/14\/daeff74a\/l1041303-copy.jpg?w=400&amp;dpr=2\" alt class=\"wQM EdX\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"uSn\">\n<div class=\"vmZ XJ- lOK\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/4\/14\/c6f332b1\/l1041068-copy.jpg?w=400&amp;dpr=2\" alt class=\"wQM EdX\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"uSn\">\n<div class=\"vmZ XJ- lOK\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/4\/14\/a6e450ac\/l1041276-copy.jpg?w=400&amp;dpr=2\" alt class=\"wQM EdX\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"uSn\">\n<div class=\"vmZ XJ- lOK\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/4\/14\/b4bd0e21\/l1041309.jpg?w=400&amp;dpr=2\" alt class=\"wQM EdX\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"uSn\">\n<div class=\"vmZ XJ- lOK\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/4\/14\/746fe3b6\/l1041003-copy.jpg?w=400&amp;dpr=2\" alt class=\"wQM EdX\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"uSn\">\n<div class=\"vmZ XJ- lOK\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imgix.bustle.com\/uploads\/image\/2026\/4\/14\/7ec50256\/l1041243.jpg?w=400&amp;dpr=2\" alt class=\"wQM EdX\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"iza\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mXa\"><button disabled title=\"Previous page\" class=\"oWF _Qp\">Prev<\/button><button title=\"Next page\" class=\"oWF lqI\">Next<\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"yOD GLK\">\n<div class=\"ki0 kpP\">\n<div class=\"MNV\"><\/div>\n<p><label for=\"lightboxCheckbox-461933229\" class=\"QNb y8V St5\"><button aria-label=\"open lightbox\" class=\"kMc\"><\/button><\/label><\/div>\n<div class=\"C1C\">\n<div class=\"ZXG\">\n<div class=\"F6c\"><button class=\"ikQ VkL\"><\/button>1 \/ 7<button class=\"ikQ Olc\"><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"LOc\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"igl f5y\"><button class=\"ikQ Xfx\"><span class=\"Od1\">INFO<\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"itG\">1 \/ 7<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Outside the party house, Marciano\u2019s dreams of pushing the envelope resulted in custom pieces for his boo, Gray, plus Blackwell, who wore a skimpy two-piece set for the first night of festivities. Elsewhere at the festival, both on supermodels and on little old me, Guess Jeans was a uniform for those unburdened by trying to look like a desert storm-rider (seriously, when did everyone get stuck in 2014 with \u2018Chella \u2018fits?). It was all about showing a little cheek; see Gray\u2019s first-day look with a baby T-shirt and itty-bitty shorts. It felt very \u201890s, a little <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nylon.com\/fashion\/von-dutch-i-am-gia-collaboration-exclusive\" class=\"T3D\">Y2Chaotic<\/a>, totally easy, and not try-hard at all. Ditto for Taylor, who chose Guess USA leather pants and a cropped shirt for the party. <\/p>\n<p>There are callbacks to Guess Jeans days of yore, but for Marciano, it\u2019s about making a bold statement with the spirit of the past for something new to stick \u2014 and feel easy like a Malibu morning. If the line outside the Guess Compound on Sunday night for Young Thug\u2019s party was any indication, it\u2019s stuck, and then some. Everyone wants a piece of the Guess cinematic universe, whether through a bass-thumping good time or the perfect (and perfectly affordable) pair of jeans.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"fX2 rhF jIS\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"lqj TnP\">\n<div class=\"BMP\">\n<div class=\"oHL\">Style + Culture, delivered straight to your inbox.<\/div>\n<div class=\"wCn\">\n<div class=\"Yte yjy DSW\"><\/div>\n<p><button class=\"Ex8 qgj\"><span>Submit<\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"uxm\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"g-0\">By subscribing to this BDG newsletter, you agree to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bdg.com\/info\/terms-of-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Terms of Service<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bdg.com\/info\/privacy-policy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Privacy Policy<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nylon.com\/newsletter\">Subscribe to our newsletter &gt;<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Courtesy of GUESS Fashion You Wanna Guess The Hottest Brand At Coachella 2026?
