Cedella Marley works in collaboration with Japanese denim label Kapital on a Spring 2019 collection entitled 'Talkin' Blues' to honor her father. The Talkin' Blues collection celebrates Bob Marley by informing the designs with his signature denim styles. In addition to the structures, the pieces are also accented with Kapital's iconic patchwork details and embroidery details that are influenced by the visuals of tattoos.
Cedella and Kiro Hirata of Kapital first bonded over their shared interest and expertise of denim materials, reaching the conclusion that the two should work on a joint denim capsule. The highlighting piece is the Crash Jacket that features Marley Discography patchwork, adorned in 20 Bob Marley patch details that reference his albums -- all of which have been selected by Cedella herself.
