Today Leica announced a new D-Lux 6 Edition G-STAR RAW camera:

In collaboration with G-Star, the Dutch denim label, Leica is proud to present a limited special edition of the Leica D-Lux 6 compact camera. Inspired by the successful G-Star RAW collection, the new Leica D-Lux 6 ‘Edition by G-Star RAW’ features an unusual colour concept, is finished in the typical RAW design, and features the inscription ‘LEICA BY G-STAR RAW … JUST THE PRODUCT.’

This was probably the special edition camera that was expected to be unveiled at the Leica Store LA opening tomorrow. We are still waiting for the limited edition Leica M designed by Jonathan Ive.
