Gold Girl Co. and Officina39 turn unconventional materials into a new language for denim

From the report

At Kingpins Amsterdam, on 14th and 15th October, Gold Girl Co. and Officina39 unveil RENEGADE RENAISSANCE, an experimental collaboration exploring the relationship between material and meaning through two conceptual garments: Marble Dreams and Midnight Journey.

Conceived creatively by Marta and Glenda Goldschmied, founders of Gold Girl Co., the project asks how unconventional materials can move beyond their original purpose to express ideas of permanence, identity, ambition, and the paths we create through life. Officina39 acts as the project’s technical engine and creative enabler, translating the sisters’ vision into physical garments through chemistry, textile know-how, and material experimentation.

Created using marble dust, Marble Dreams explores permanence, longevity and identity in a culture increasingly defined by disposability. Inspired by the enduring presence of classical sculpture, it transforms a material associated with strength and monumentality into something intimately connected to the body. The piece asks whether beauty can be separated from durability – and whether an object that survives trends can become an extension of the person who wears it. For Officina39, the experiment also points toward future, more scalable applications rooted in the same philosophy: making longevity a creative value as well as a technical and commercial one.
