Diesel continues to work in collaboration with the Tom of Finland Foundation for their fourth Pride collection. The new range is comprised of hoodies, sweatpants, undergarments, tees, and more -- all of which are detailed with Tom of Finland Foundation's artwork. The collection is now available to shop, and it is all defined by an artful angle meant to celebrate LGBTQ+ voices.
It features expressive designs that showcase the Foundation and its years of work. This year, the collaborative range shines a spotlight on some of the most notable works of Tom's. He has depicted handymen, cops, and more -- these are decorating jockstraps, phone cases, tees, to name a few. Notably, photos from Tom of Finland's parties from 1990 to 2005 are seen on the apparel.
