Innovating Beyond the Bottle
09-27-2019
DIESEL and Coca‑Cola are joining forces to create The (Re)Collection, a beautifully crafted and edgy capsule collection partially made of recycled materials, available online.
The range, which hits stores this fall, was made with materials such as recycled PET from plastic bottles and recycled cotton to create a fresh, modern interpretation of DIESEL's casualwear aesthetic combined with Coca‑Cola iconicity to make a statement. The collaboration aims to raise awareness on the value of recycling with all pieces made with recycled PET fibers.
To showcase the value of recycling to conscientious shoppers and style-seekers across the globe, DIESEL x Coca‑Cola: The (Re)Collection will be available exclusively online starting Sept. 27 by scanning any recycling logo worldwide, giving access to a hidden site on DIESEL.com to shop the collection.
“We are excited to partner with DIESEL on this collection. Not only does The (Re)Collection generate awareness of the importance of recycling in a very approachable way by showcasing beautiful fashions created from recycled materials. It’s also a collection that celebrates individuality.”
The collaboration will roll out worldwide, with a global first showcase of The (Re)Collection at the renowned Galeries Lafayette department store in Paris. The event will unveil the collection and bring to life the unique recycling message during Paris Fashion Week. The launch event in Paris will be followed by a series of collateral events that will take place around the world including London, Berlin, Milan, Tokyo, Shanghai, Beijing, Amsterdam, New York, among others.
