G-Dragon, a South Korean rapper, singer-songwriter, fashion icon and the founder of PEACEMINUSONE, worked with VERBAL and 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.
