Diesel’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection was, as expected, a masterclass in trompe l’œil and denim manipulation. The signature Diesel distress was on full display, with Glenn Martens once again pushing boundaries. From faux illusion undergarments peeking through distressed dresses to the shredded denim collar corset jacket, the collection displayed redefined silhouettes that aude to both dystopian and retro Y2K diesel simultaneously.

The show itself was a spectacle, with 14,800 kg of denim scraps forming the set—a powerful statement on the beauty of waste and Diesel’s dedication to circularity. True to Diesel’s rebellious nature, this wasn’t just about fashion, but about rethinking how we use materials and turn waste into something striking.

Denim reigned supreme, but with twists only Diesel could deliver. Micro shorts embroidered with sumptuously long fringing, leather jackets treated to look like denim, and distressed jeans that played with tufted seams and embroidery. Every piece had that deliberate, distressed touch that only Martens could make feel so intentional yet effortless.
And it wasn’t just the clothes. Accessories brought their own level of edge, with the sculptural Play-Double-D bag making its debut and trompe l’oeil boots that looked like skin-tight jeans fused with stilettos. Even the eyewear, developed with Luxottica, was intentionally distressed to match the brand’s signature attitude.

In true Diesel fashion, this collection wasn’t just about clothing—it was a full-on experience that pushed design, sustainability, and creativity to the edge, proving once again that Diesel is in a league of its own and Martens is here to stay.
