Diesel in Milan: Glenn Martens’ Final Collection for the Brand
Milan Fashion Week was all about Diesel energy on September 22, as the brand unveiled Glenn Martens’ latest collection for Diesel. The show once again showcased the brand’s signature aesthetic, blending provocation, freedom, sensuality, and the energy of club culture.
The venue was transformed into a club-like setting, while the (LA)HORDE collective from Marseille added an extra layer of surprise and unpredictability. A total of 200 performers were positioned among the guests, whose spontaneous interventions gradually built tension and amplified the atmosphere throughout the show.
At the heart of the collection is a playful exploration of proportions, construction, and unexpected combinations. Leather jackets, blazers, knitwear, and sportswear-inspired pieces intertwine with bold cut-out details and orchid motifs, while denim, one of the cornerstones of Diesel’s identity, is reimagined through new shapes and treatments. Laser processing, trompe l’oeil effects, and unexpected garment combinations further emphasize the collection’s experimental character.
Sensuality runs throughout the entire collection, from ultra-low waistlines and revealing silhouettes to twisted and intentionally disheveled pieces. A particularly symbolic moment came at the finale, when the last look was worn by Ella Snyder, the same model who opened Martens’ debut Diesel runway show.
As guests of Fashion Company, Croatian artists Jakov Jozinović and Miach, along with Serbia’s Lores, attended the show and had the opportunity to experience firsthand the presentation of Martens’ final Diesel collection and the unique energy of a Diesel runway in Milan.
The collection marks the conclusion of an important creative chapter for Diesel while remaining true to the brand’s DNA: a free-spirited, provocative, and unexpected aesthetic that connects fashion, music, and nightlife culture.
The new Diesel collection is available at the Diesel store in Galerija Belgrade, selected Fashion&Friends and XYZ stores, as well as through the Fashion&Friends and XYZ websites and mobile applications.
