Heavily Distressed Dyed Garments

The Red Tag Partnership Brings A-COLD-WALL* and Diesel Together

— January 8, 2020 — Fashion
The new Red Tag collection is made possible by the collaborative efforts of both Diesel and Samuel Ross' A-COLD-WALL* streetwear label. As the collection hits the market, it showcases a strong sense of distressed design elements that are paired perfectly with rich dyes. There are approximately twenty pieces in the collection and it highlights items including jackets, jeans, sweaters, a hat, bags, and more.

The design language of the brand highlights some patchwork, mixed-material application, and vegetable dyes to add some rugged elements. Additional components include the angled zippers for some asymmetrical detailing and cargo pockets for functionality. Some examples include the long coat with raw contrasting hemmed panels, deconstructed trousers, and hooded jackets with a cropped front placket.
