Diesel Resort 2026 Collection
His highly-anticipated Maison Margiela Artisanal couture debut lands next month. So Glenn Martens might, perfectly justifiably, have seemed stretched thinner than a pair of undersized Diesel skinny jeans at this presentation. And yet there was no discernible sign of anything but total focus on this pre-spring collection from a designer whose creativity must be shot through with elastane. 'The collection is definitely a continuation of the last show,' he said as we ruffled through the rails. At that show the set was a riot of globally-sourced street art. For this lookbook the background jostled with 100-odd 'very cute' onlookers, some from Diesel HQ, and some street cast in its hometown of Breganza. The lookbook was a more concentrated distillation of Martens' and his teams' broader seasonal output than previously, thanks in part to a structural restructuring on the back-end designed to give Diesel's worldwide network of 5,000-ish points of sale greater autonomy. Dresses, jackets, and outerwear in neoprene were clad in either felted wool or treated denim to create minimized but classic pieces with a grungy facade. Martens cheerily noted that one knit-hooded overcoat was inspired by a Y-project favorite of his own design that he'd decided to keep alive at Diesel. There were high-waisted, low-sleeved leather puffers, and what Martens called 'fake tailoring': pieces in jersey, denim, or more neoprene cut to resemble tailored pieces without quite being so. Other Martens-ish masquerades included dresses with trompe l'oeil draping, leather blousons overprinted with perfecto trompe l'oeil prints, and a slip dress in shiny organza-ish material, red on silver, that featured a double layered construction at the shoulder that allows the wearer to tweak the neckline in multiple ways. There was a brief aside into preppy pastiche with a big D logo bengal stripe shirt layered over an overprinted henley above distressed bootcut jeans. Tarnished silver taping on crispily treated mesh knits were readymade but looked DIY: another contradiction to play with. Even edited down, and even with another brand now jostling for its designer's attention, this Diesel collection was aflame with ideas. Expect Margiela to be explosively so.

Diesel Evokes Zombie Apocalypse at Milan Fashion Week with Milky Gazes and Spray-Painted Smiles
The zombie apocalypse is now, according to Italian denim brand Diesel, which sent models onto a heavily graffiti-ed runway with unsettling milky gazes and spray-painted smiles. Revealing silhouettes set the tone for the Fall-Winter 2025-26 co-ed collection premiered Wednesday on the second day of Milan Fashion Week. Mini skirts were little more than peplums, requiring leggings or matching panties. Men wore cheekily low-rise jeans. Diesel has become a must-see of fashion week, in part due to its textile innovations. A silicone fisherman-pattern V-neck featured realistic chest hair detailing. Denim was treated to a reflective sheen, while jersey seemed to dissolve. Designer Glenn Martens is soon taking his innovative spirit to the Parisian fashion house Maison Margiela, which shares an Italian owner. He takes over from John Galliano. No creative changes have been announced at Diesel.

Diesel showcases ultra-low-waist jeans at Milan Fashion Week
MILAN, Feb 26 (Reuters) - Diesel, renowned for its denim and casual wear, showcased a range of ultra-low-waist jeans and skirts, boucle jackets, and plastic-coated garments against a vivid backdrop of giant graffiti on the second day of the Milan Fashion Week. Models sporting striking all-white or black contact lenses strutted amidst 3.2 kilometres of graffiti-adorned fabrics crafted by some 7,000 artists. The vibrant materials were also draped around human-shaped inflatables at the centre of the venue. Creative director Glenn Martens, who recently took on the same role at Maison Margiela, presented Diesel's autumn-winter collection dominated by shades of grey. Both Diesel and Maison Margiela are part of the family-owned fashion conglomerate OTB. Milan Fashion Week, running until March 3, is the third stop in the month-long global fashion calendar which also features shows in New York, London and Paris. Leading Italian fashion houses including Marni and Fendi also unveil their new collections on Wednesday, with labels such as Prada, Versace, Giorgio Armani, and Dolce & Gabbana following in the coming days.
