DIESEL – STRANGER & STRONGER

Diesel Fall/Winter 18 Main collection embodies the brand’s engagement in continuing to reconstruct its image. The inspiration is drawn from a melting pot of elements: sport, denim, colors, graphics, checks and treatments. The collection creates an avant-garde mixture translated through three tribes MuffinHeads, Voltag3 and Kultur, appealing to a variety of personalities whose attitude can be balanced, free and convincing,

 

Taking the city of London as reference point, where clashing influences are lend from School uniforms to gothic and post-punk elements. Oversized and bigger silhouettes portray an empowering aesthetic, while iconic archive items are mixed with historic and pop cultural elements. They are different but mix seamlessly into the collection making it even more appealing.

MuffinHeads aka English Ravers dressed in school uniforms has given way to graphic stripes in unexpected color combinations included in the palette bottle green, utility orange, burgundy and dark grey.  Voltag3 embodies Victorian-meets-sport vibe with transformable pieces that not only can be adapted to the body but also lend a playful touch to a chameleon item. Lastly, Kultur, brings out the gothic-cyber hybrid to a classic wardrobe, where elegant wool coats with raw edges and blazers with built-in hoodies give a new twist.

 

This season tailoring takes a distinctively Diesel turn, sports details are applied to more classic items, whilst puffy faux fur removable elements give a playful touch. Graphics recall gothic churches’ windows or punk stitches transformed through acid colors and incongruous proportions. Volumes games can be seen on outwear or using denim for an experimental turn, which clashes workwear with couture making it strange and yet stronger.

Going to denim the quest of authenticity is the focus of the collection, pure and vintage denim reach new heights thank to a unique mix of ripped&repaired treatments, classic constructions, evolution in volumes and proportions, different washes and materials to meet a variety of personalities and body shapes. New styles are also introduced: for her Babhila High is the higher rise version of skinny Babhila, while for him Dagh-XP is for an effortless attitude with a slightly lower crotch, Blank is the seasonal interpretation of the biker pants, while Shibuya-Ne is Blank’s equivalent in the JoggJeans offer, characterized by a regular slim fit.
