KOAJ Releases Iron Maiden Collection

KOAJ, a fashion brand, celebrated the return of rock band, Iron Maiden, to Colombia in Nov. with the launch of an official collection inspired by the band.  

Sixteen years after their first concert in the country and more than 13 years since their last visit, Iron Maiden returned to Bogota on Nov. 24 as part of their Future Past tour. 

The 11-piece collection includes T-shirts and sweatshirts with special finishes, such as the Iron Maiden logo in velvet texture, metallic inks and embossed designs. The standout piece is the black denim jacket inspired by one of their greatest hits, "The Trooper," with features such as the military symbols from the scarlet coat worn by Iron Maiden mascot, Eddie, in the single's artwork;  the Union Jack flag, a patch with the song's title and the band logo on the back. The jacket was available in limited quantities at three selected stores and sold out in hours. 

After nearly 50 years in the music industry, this marks an unprecedented milestone for Iron Maiden in the Colombian market, with the teams at KOAJ, Akimbo and KOPA (Iron Maiden's and Global Merchandising Services' licensing agent) working on the collaboration for months.
