The Italian denim magnate Diesel and EDUN, the niche eco-friendly brand developed by musician Bono and his wife, have something in common — a love of Africa and its artistic scene. It makes sense then that last year they announced DIESEL+EDUN, a denim collection, "Born in Africa and worn by a new generation of creative talents."
The line, which is manufactured in Africa using high-quality organic CCI cotton from Uganda, was finally launched this month, and to kick off the release, nine African artists are being featured in various "Studio Africa" exhibitions across the world. In the Japan, the Diesel gallery in Shibuya is presenting the photography of three South African brothers in its show "I See a Different You," which will run until May 10. (M.J.)
