Diesel Blends Fine With Faded for Resort 2026 Collection
As Glenn Martens prepares to take the helm at Maison Margiela, he continues his reign at Diesel, showcasing its forthcoming Resort 2026 collection in a dimly lit campaign with a varied cast of onlookers. Is it a packed nightclub? Or a make-shift runway? Wherever it may be, the Italian-born denim label picks up where it left off in SS25 and FW25, offering a mixture of semi-tailored silhouettes and lived-in distressing.
The looks begin with pared-back numbers, including sculpted mini dresses for women and heavily washed check suiting for men. One all-black menswear number departs momentarily from Diesel’s hyper-distressed sensibilities, featuring a sleek cropped leather puffer jacket, with a faded charcoal suit, and a washed black denim shirt, topped off with an embossed logo handbag. The following women’s look further highlights this elegant side of Diesel, centering on a deceivingly structured, charcoal neoprene overcoat worn with a ribbed headscarf and sock-like heels.
By the middle of the lineup, Martens’s more expressive design language emerges with duo-tone motorcycle jackets, rugged indigo denim, and a clash of airbrushed patterns and street art motifs. A quintessentially Martens touch is the bold presence of trompe l’oeil graphics, resulting in a particularly surreal sepia-toned biker jacket. Between the artificially aged knitwear and frayed denim galore, matching blue sets stand out with creased prints applied to athletic staples like mesh basketball shorts and a football jersey. Women’s eveningwear serves as the canvas for some of the strongest prints, including an ultra-shiny, blurred floral and abstract graffiti, recalling the set of Diesel’s FW25/26 runway presentation.
