Ace High Pt. 1

California is something of a home away from home for those of us at D+D. We’ve visited a few times – SS22 and AW23 spring to mind – and every time, we return with new influences and inspirations. 

Our AW25 collection, Ace High, is an ode to the American West – one of our favourite places in the world. 

The first instalment of our Ace High series takes its cues from the frontier, featuring Western-inspired textiles like cow print, pony hair and snake-effect leather and ranch- and rodeo-themed graphics, chain-stitching and embroidery. It includes Wilde Loafers, Moby Boots and Plus Duke Sneakers and is headlined by the Duke Ranch Wreath Trucker – our first ever denim jacket.

To capture Ace High, we flew into LAX, rented an old 1964 Ford F-250, and set out on the great American road trip. After a quick pit stop at the Apple Valley Speedway for DR3, we parked up at a bar, diner, motel and gas station and shot LA-based models Asher Deva and Jessie Mesa in the SoCal desert.

Produced in a limited run, for AW25 only.
