[G-Dragon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comme-des-garons-gdragon), a South Korean rapper, singer-songwriter, fashion icon and the founder of [PEACEMINUSONE](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peaceminusone-x-verdy), worked with VERBAL and [AMBUSH](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunkin-x-ambush) on a series of distressed denim jackets and jeans for men. In addition, the collection includes two tees, which sport PEACEMINUSONE's branding on the chest and back.

A total of five pieces make up the series, with jackets and jeans offered in light indigo or black. The jackets also feature a silver nail on the chest, adding to the rugged appearance and giving them more originality. While the majority of the pieces feature statement fraying, a few are a little more refined -- giving G-Dragon fans some variance. Currently, the collection is available on AMBUSH's web store.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Collaborative Fashion Design:** The collaboration between G-Dragon, VERBAL, and AMBUSH showcases the trend of artists and designers coming together to create unique fashion collections.
