Glenn Martens Showcases Diesel SS23 Collection

Glenn Martens has brought Diesel back to high-end fashion by implementing savoir-faire and pop-culture aspects. Diesel has made a big comeback under the wings of designer Glenn Martens to become one of the hottest brands in the world. Kanye West started styling Julia Fox in Diesel’s Spring 2022 collection. This has influenced many people around the world and has brought a lot of positive attention to the brand.

Martens understands the importance of intriguing the public in multiple different ways to attract attention to Diesel. The Spring/Summer 2023 Diesel show started with a big countdown for the models to start walking in the newest Diesel Collection between the biggest inflatable sculptures in the world.

 

Diesel is known for its denim and a lot of denim was showed at the runway. The importance of differences in shapes and washes created an intense build-up to show all the denim pieces. Gradually during the show, the pieces with different materials and colours started to make their way onto the runway to show a broad collection of different pieces. The collection consists of pieces with the focus on distressing; leather is wrecked and sweaters have frayed add-ons. 

 

The added pop-culture to this collection came through with the clash between biker and skateboarding references. Pieces are ready to wear and the influence of the leather “biker” items and the distressed “skateboarding” denim items are very present in this new-collection.
