The Italian denim magnate Diesel and EDUN, the niche eco-friendly brand developed by musician Bono and his wife, have something in common ¡ª 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.)
