Dream sartorial-slaying collab alert: DIESEL+EDUN! *Faints in traffic* YUP, the denim-heavy collection is unsurprisingly SO SUPER COOL. Aaand, if you are what you eat wear, then you’re an awesome person! Here’s why — DIESEL+EDUN are committed to promoting (and celebrating!) African creativity, which means that the collection is manufactured in Africa and “made solely from cotton grown through CCI’s Uganda project” where it’s “cut, sewn and washed in Northern Africa countries such as Tunisia and Morocco.” And OMG THOSE JEANS. Fyi – Raw, untreated denim was used for the collection which, PS, is a reinterpretation of the four-pocket jean of the ’70s popular on the streets of South Africa. You learn something new everyday, kittens. Oh! Did we mention there are 25 pieces? There’s that too.
But what’s a killer capsule collection debut without a party?!?! DIESEL+EDUN really outdid themselves on Saturday — and yeah, the stars came out, as you’ll see below — launching Studio Africa with Los Angeles staple, Ron Herman. More importantly, Solange performed a surely amazing 40-minute set in a nearby parking lot, which makes sense because we LIVE FOR her tune, “Lovers in the Parking Lot.” Any YouTube videos of this specialness, LA kittens? When guests weren’t going wild in the parking lot due to Solange’s performance, they munched on Moroccan BBQ whilst dancing away the calories via DJ sets by Myles Hendrick and Wade Xavier. Meanwhile, our Saturday night may or may not have involved a combo of ice-cream/cigs/cat cuddling. You win, DIESEL+EDUN.
