Pepsi X D2

Designing for the love of it.

Partnering with luxury fashion brand Dsquared2 (D2)--founded by renowned designers Dean and Dan Caten--we developed a high-end capsule collection called #D2XPepsi. Featuring over 40 pieces for men and women, the diverse line launched globally in D2 stores and luxury third-party retailers in Spring/Summer 2020.

THE DESIGN

A hybrid design is born.

The Pepsi logo is iconic, a staple to not only American but global pop culture. One of the most striking elements of the #D2XPepsi collection was a hybrid design that brought Pepsi’s classic vintage logo together with the fashion brand’s maple leaf emblem.

Besides Pepsi’s logo and classic blue-and-red palette, Dsquared2 also utilized brand elements and slogans such as “Pepsi – For the love of it.” Pepsi ads from the eighties and nineties served as inspiration for the streetwear range, which vibrates with youthful energy and optimism.

THE OUTCOME
