One half Lee, one half Diesel: every pair one of a kind.Lee and Diesel have united to create the globally launched DIESELVES LEE capsule collection, showcasing jeans made from repurposed unsold stock. Combining both brands' denim, each pair symbolizes a commitment to sustainability and innovation in the fashion industry. The collection offers two men's and two women's fits, with unique details and customized trim. “Lee is proud to be part of this transformative initiative; it’s a reflection of our shared commitment to driving meaningful change by uniting our expertise,” said Simon Fisher, managing director of Lee Europe. “Through this capsule collection, Lee and Diesel redefine competition by prioritizing innovation. By joining forces, we harness our collective strengths to lead by example, one denim at a time.”As the everyday uniform of modern life, denim is something everyone has in common despite our differences. This collaboration represents the power of denim to unite in line with both brands’ commitment to creatively finding a new use for unsold, excess inventory.Requiring significant development to harmonize all the different fits, treatments and sizings, the capsule has two fits and four styles playing on the brands’ combined heritage – two men’s straight fits, two women’s boot/flare fits – and features customized trim and unique details enriched with raw-cut and needle-stitched side seams.DIESELVES LEE is the first chapter in a new initiative from Diesel: DIESELVES that proposes a more purposeful approach to brand partnerships applying collective creativity to the perennial problem of overproduction.“It’s easier to create something new than it is to repurpose a garment, especially when customers want it to look exactly like they do online,” said Glenn Martens, creative director for Diesel and the creator of DIESELVES. “The small things you do can go far and deep. DIESELVES LEE is the ideal opening act for our continuous call to action with DIESELVES. Two denim giants, often selling the exact same product with different logos, dropping our weapons and teaming up to address overconsumption and make something good and beautiful.”Created exclusively for DIESELVES LEE, the limited-edition capsule will be sold in select Diesel and Lee stores globally as well as on each brand’s owned websites. Suggested retail price for the denim is 350 USD or 350 Euros. Note: The content of this press release has not been edited by Fibre2Fashion staff. Fibre2Fashion News Desk (RM) More Diesel News...
