Netflix's hit series Narcos is about to make its mark on the world of fashion.

French film studio Gaumont has partnered with Los Angeles-based e-commerce platform Dropdaze to create a designer brand inspired by the crime drama, which will aptly be named “Narcos Los Angeles.”

The brand will span men’s designer fashion such as military jackets, graphic tees and hoodies, jewellery, as well as hardware and lifestyle goods, with all pieces nodding to notable sartorial moments from the show.

According to WWD, Narcos Los Angeles will be available online later this year, while eager fans can purchase it IRL at pop-ups across the world, which are yet to be confirmed.

Narcos chronicles the Colombian cocaine trade in the eighties and follows the stories of the drug lords from that era. As can only be expected from a retro-inspired show, there's no shortage of flamboyant eighties fashion in the series, spanning from floral shirts to military jackets.

Narcos Los Angeles will be available to buy online later this year, pricing is as yet unknown.
