"As a fan of Wildfang and a lifelong lover of Taco Bell, partnering with them to model this coverall has been a dream collab,” said artist Hayley Kiyoko, who is launching the collab, in a statement. "I also love how the spacious coverall pockets fit everything, including my fave Taco Bell Mild Sauce.”

Taylor Montgomery, Taco Bell U.S.’s chief marketing officer, added: “We're always looking to partner with cutting-edge brands that push the boundaries of their industries and can create with us to push the Taco Bell brand forward.”

Emma McIlroy, CEO and founder of Portland, Ore.-based Wildfang, said: "Both Taco Bell and Wildfang capture the cultural zeitgeist by championing self-expression and community.”
