Denim was the theme for Diesel’s latest SS25 collection showcased this week during Milan Fashion Week. Not only was denim a dominant feature in the collection, but the show’s set was built from over 15 tonnes of denim scraps, which will be repurposed to create materials such as denim roll. On this, Glenn Martens, Diesel’s creative director stated: “There is beauty in waste, in what is distressed and destroyed. It’s in the circularity of denim waste, and into the distressing that we build into the collection. This is the disruption of Diesel: we are pushing for circularity in our production as hard as we push the elevation of design.”
The latest collection, which consisted of over 70 looks with many pared with eerie contact lenses, showcased a number of highlights including coats crafted from leftover spools of denim thread or wrapped and tied waste yarn, archival Diesel bandanna prints and double-breasted leather jackets made of distressed denim.
