Diesel Fall 2025 Ready-to-Wear Collection
Diesel Fall 2025 Ready-to-Wear Collection
By Brooklyn Hoffmann — March 7, 2025
The Diesel 2025 ready-to-wear collection debuted at Milan Fashion Week on Feb. 26, 2025.
This year’s collection, inspired by the mantra “Dare to be Diesel,” featured a large graffiti installation meticulously crafted by Creative Director Glenn Martens and various international graffiti artists. The installation was made by a street art collective of approximately 7,000 graffiti artists and designed by Studio Dennis Vanderbroeck. It took over 3 kilometers of graffitied fabric to set the scene, along with a life-size sculpture of mannequin limbs. The final product matched the energy of this year’s colorful and raw collection.
Martens shared his excitement to Flaunt stating, “I love that thousands of people around the world have worked together to create the set design. We gave the global street art collective complete creative freedom – they expressed themselves each in their own way, on a project that’s taken months to achieve. This is the true democracy of Diesel.”
The collection explored versatility within texture, patterns, and layering, with all looks styled by Ursina Gysi. The distressing and subversive styling of the pieces showed that this year’s collection was about embracing risk-taking while disregarding preconceived fashion and societal constraints.
Raw stitching, distressing, and asymmetrical materials were prominent, with high-cut bouclé jackets paired with extremely low-cut skirts, jeans, and pants. The collection featured pilled bouclé coats, collarless denim outerwear, extremely puffy jackets worn loosely like shawls, and trompe-l’oeil bodysuits worn as tight-knit sweaters.
The models—cast by Establishment NY—wore eerie, glossy colored contacts, and some had traces of graffiti on their faces with bright colors in their hair. The show’s attendees included Victoria Monét, Lennon Gallagher, and Hoshi. Composer Senjan Jansen played an original electronic and synth-based soundtrack as the models walked around the graffiti chamber and the record-breaking inflatable structure.
Along with the cutting-edge collection and show, Diesel also dropped a Street Art Capsule Collection on Feb. 27. The collection highlighted six artists who helped create the show’s graffiti set. This international group of artists included Roy XR Chen, Ryota Daimon, Farai Engelbrecht, Phree Huster, Brianna Toomer, and Red Longo. Each artist received Diesel pieces of graffiti, which were eventually scanned and printed.
