Diesel's pre-fall 2025 collection is all about denim. Glenn Martens hones in on a new fluid denim and materials treated to look like denim in their upcoming collection. Throughout the collection, the new fluid denim is lightweight and able to drape making it easily used for a tailored jacket and pants. The line also features a long jersey skirt treated to look like denim that has stitching throughout the garment.
"This is a collection about everything in denim, from tailoring to footwear, or pieces treated to seem like denim. The archetypes of denim should be more than just five-pocket jeans: we wanted to push the boundaries and possibilities of our hero fabric. It's a complete wardrobe with fabric innovations which proves that Diesel is denim, and that denim is Diesel," shared Glenn Martens, Diesel's creative director in a press release.
Diesel's latest collection is currently available online and in-stores.
