DIESEL SPRING SUMMER PREVIEW 2016 COLLECTION

The 70s and the 90s, pivotal decades that influenced fashion, music and culture inform the Diesel Spring Sumer Preview 2016 Collection. These distinct periods are interpreted with a distinct Diesel eye into four major themes. A nostalgic, authentic feel is refreshed with innovative fabrics and constructions and injected with Diesel creativity and attention to detail. Symbolically powerful spirit animals, the American eagle and a wolf turn up on knits, T-shirts, outerwear and accessories. Diesel’s graphic V-logo makes its mark on ready-to-wear, shoes, bags and intimates. Inserted on sporty and elegant pieces, Diesel signatures of denim and leather are strong visual codes. The collection articulates Diesel’s core DNA in an ultimate expression. Denim shines next summer in new fits, silhouettes and washes that crystallize the brand’s relentless aptitude to trail-blaze with the new. Back To Folk Reinterpreted in a modern, soft way, style influences from 70s shape Back to Folk’s distinctive texture-rich look. Knits and dresses feature multicolored lurex stripes, flared and cropped pants and denim for women and men and fringing adds movement to leather jackets. These are mixed with paisley and patchwork floral prints in earthy tones. A tattoo artist customized Mexican-style graphics for T-shirts and knits. Leather motocross jackets are emblazoned with vintage prints. Glam Rock Eclectic and sophisticated with a sporty edge, Glam Rock is rock-n-roll glamour, designed for the party season. A black-and-white palette is infused with accents of rich burgundy and crimson and shimmery silver. Vintage biker prints on T-shirts and stars on knits punctuate the pieces. Lace is mixed with leather, knits and denim. Bags, clutches, black pumps and lace-ups are sleekly constructed with the Diesel V logo and zips. Preppy Casual Diesel’s take on preppy is undone with a tough attitude. Borrowing inspiration from 90s grunge, the pieces have a sexier, grown-up look with a young spirit. The silhouette is loose, with layers of studded leather, embroidered satin bomber jackets, plaid shirts, star and stripe prints, chinos and oversized jeans with ripped and distressed finishes. An all-American symbol for freedom, the eagle emblazons sweaters, T-shirts, sporty jackets and a backpack. The palette is inspired by Los Angeles’ landscape—vibrant natural shades of orange, sky blue and forest green. Studded accessories, pumps and ankle boots for women, sneakers for guys, complete the look. 90s Deconstruction Playing heavily with proportion, 90s Deconstruction’s unconventional silhouette has an acute fashion feel. Classic tailoring is mixed with a tough sporty lux look. In an all black palette, oversized trenches and bombers, chunky ripped and torn knits and long leather biker jackets are contrasted with skin-tight denim.
