Own it. Live it. Be yourself. For every moment, every situation. Diesel’s new Fall Winter 2026 collection is a hymn to uncompromising attitude: deconstructed pieces charged with the electric energy of the morning after the best party ever — zero regrets, only glory.
Silhouettes are sliced through with deliberately “wrong” twists and drapes, impossible to smooth back into place. Denim is treated to set in permanent creases, as if it had lived through the entire night — and the day after — without ever stopping. Fabrics look as though they’ve just been lifted off the floor, striking the perfect balance between chaos and control. The result? Versatile, dynamic pieces pulled from a subversive wardrobe that tells stories worn directly on the skin.
“This collection is about waking up somewhere with no idea what happened the night before, and being the most glorious version of yourself. When you sneak out of a hotel room that isn’t even yours, you are truly at your best. These are super wearable clothes for a successful life — the essence of Diesel,” says Glenn Martens, the brand’s creative director.
The show throws open the Diesel vault in a vibrant celebration of its universe — past, present, and future. Around 50,000 archival pieces, dating from 1978 to today, stand as living proof of constant evolution. The set becomes an immersive installation: 6,000 categories of objects and reused materials displayed almost forensically under blazing lights. Definitive evidence of nearly fifty years of partying — and vision.
Reuse as a creative language is the common thread. Upcycling runs through a collection that embraces recycled materials and responsible sourcing — from denim to ready-to-wear to bags — in a cohesive narrative of Successful Living.
Double-layer jersey tops appear hastily ruched, yet are constructed with millimetric precision. Crumpled knits are intentionally “boiled” and downsized from oversized volumes. Resin-treated denim sculpts indelible creases: jeans lived in again and again. Some styles are extra-long, with hidden vertical slits at the ankle — perfect for slipping in a stiletto — and hook-and-eye closures that add a bold edge.
Pantaboots, flat and sharply pointed, slip on in seconds. Stretch denim hot pants look as if wrapped on in a rush. Alpaca and wool-blend coats and jackets are airy, unlined, and deconstructed. Felted tailoring is crafted from production scraps and industrial remnants once destined for disposal: material reborn in couture form. Intarsia knits reveal floral motifs cut out at the neckline or hem, as though time itself had nibbled at the wool.
Trousers introduce new functionality, with additional pockets placed at the hem that rest over the shoe. Velvet-denim skirts amplify volume, like a night dissolving into dawn. Ripped long-sleeved Diesel tour T-shirts and destroyed jeans shimmer with crystals, layered over frayed-hem tulle tops and skirts. Trompe-l’œil jumpsuits mimic ruched T-shirts and skirts, the latter concealing tiny leggings within: dramatic, yet easy to wear.
Textures are bold; color explodes. Denim is flocked. “Monster” coats splice together vibrant patchworks. Fur-lined styles feature raw-cut fronts. Blousons, shirts, and leather trousers are painted in soft, essential hues. Draped velvet tops, trousers, and dresses unleash a true chromatic crescendo.
Experimentation is embedded in Diesel’s DNA: printed garments are coated in foil and laminated with their own motif. The foil is then partially cracked to reveal the pattern beneath. Sometimes it’s a simple jersey top or a wrap dress; other times, a “monster” coat twisted around itself. As if the innermost self were captured at the exact instant of revelation.
The new D-One bag makes its debut, with handles that transform into multi-buckle straps running along the body of the bag. It comes in leather, crystal-embellished denim, or the collection’s floral prints. Alongside it appears a softer version of the Dome bag and the 1DR in new variations.
Footwear carves out a decisive silhouette: elongated pointed toes lifted by a side wall that wraps around the foot. An aesthetic that defines women’s pumps and boots, as well as men’s derbies and ankle boots. Mule sandals fasten with a buckle across the foot.
In eyewear, the new D-mentional family introduces curved frames with logo-detailed temples. The minimalist Sculpt-D line features an oval D cut into the temples, capable of projecting a D-shaped shadow onto the skin. Jewelry evokes angels and faux pearls.
In the world of watches, Diesel unveils Closer, its first unisex model — a meeting of functionality and jewelry-like detailing. The innovative design, with a hidden buckle, appeared on the runway in silver, light gold, and a fully pavé version.
A wardrobe that asks no permission. That lives, falls, and rises again. And remains — always — gloriously Diesel.
