Eric Emanuel, the iconic sportswear expert, recently joined forces with Diesel, the Italian denim brand, for their second collaboration. The new series includes graphic outerwear, his signature mesh shorts, t-shirts, and limited-edition totes, all featuring the beloved flare Emanuel brings to the table.
The thigh-length shorts feature the retro co-branding alongside splashy stripes, while the chenille-patched and star-adorned denim jacket is available in faded washes that perfectly compliment the signature shorts. The collection is offered in different colors, with each hue being exclusively sold at a different retailer.
The fashion-forward series will be available on Fred Segal's website and store, Bodega' web store, and Patron of the New, as well as a "special" store that will be announced on Instagram by Emanuel shortly.
