The label hook-up goes way beyond its line of ethically-sourced denim (although the garments are pretty hot, too). To bring the spirit of the 25-piece collection to life, Diesel+Edun has developed the concept of Studio Africa – a virtual loudspeaker and platform for a new generation of creative talents from across the continent. Heading up this new-gen campaign are nine African artists who span the breadth of fashion, film, music, literature and photography. It’s about

time, too – the region’s been a simmering bed of creativity for years.

But what’s a campaign without a good party? Diesel+Edun have been celebrating by throwing Boiler Room-assisted soirees all over the world, with shows in Tokyo, Paris, Berlin and LA bringing together African and Western musicians in the spirit of creativity, collaboration, and a damn good night out. Last night saw its London launch, which saw Mosca, Omar S, Spoek Mathambo and a host of other talents take to the decks and the stage. Tuesday night blues – what’s that?

Watch the Studio Africa campaign video below, and stay tuned to Wonderland for an upcoming interview with Laurence Chauvin-Buthaud, one of the featured designers in the project.
