MILAN — In the world of fashion, Diesel is making headlines with its captivating and rather eerie presentation of their Fall-Winter 2025-26 co-ed collection. Staged on the second day of Milan Fashion Week, the runway was transformed into an urban canvas, adorned with graffiti and hosted models who exuded unsettlingly vacant stares complemented by painted smiles.
Diesel’s latest collection featured daring and revealing designs. Eye-catching mini skirts, reminiscent of peplums, left little to the imagination and were paired with matching leggings or panties. The men’s fashion was equally provocative, with jeans that sat teasingly low on the hips, making a bold statement.
Known for its groundbreaking textile innovations, Diesel presented a variety of unique pieces. Among them was a silicone fisherman-pattern V-neck with a surprisingly realistic chest hair effect. Denim pieces in the collection shimmered with a reflective sheen, and certain jersey items appeared to vanish before eyes, showcasing the brand’s dedication to pushing fashion’s boundaries.
The creative mind behind Diesel’s current direction is designer Glenn Martens, whose innovative vision is soon to benefit another iconic name in fashion. Martens is set to move to Paris and take the helm at Maison Margiela, an Italian-owned establishment, succeeding John Galliano. Despite this transition, Diesel has not announced any changes on its creative front, ensuring fashion enthusiasts can expect continuity in its avant-garde approach.
