More AC/DC More AC/DC

All the talk around iconic Aussie rock group AC/DC in the last few weeks has revolved around whether or not Guns N' Roses singer Axl Rose will take over frontman duties for a string of US shows this year, but here's something completely different — the band's famous logo is to feature in high-end fashion brand Gucci's latest fashion line. 

As the NYTimes Style Magazine Instagram page shows, the classic symbol has been emblazoned on the back of a dress as part of Gucci's 2016 fall line. 

AC/DC's collaboration with Gucci was brought to light in February of this year by Gucci creative director Aessandro Michele who described the fashion line to NY Times as "rock'n'roll Renaissance, 1980s Renaissance, street-style Renaissance, bourgeois Renaissance, chinoiserie Renaissance."

The new collaboration isn't the first time AC/DC have been involved in ventures outside of music, after a new line of bourbon and cola drinks named after the band were launched in February.
