reCollection

Diesel x Coca-Cola "reCollection" Collaboration

DIESEL and Coca‑Cola are joining forces to create The (Re)Collection, a beautifully crafted and edgy capsule collection partially made of recycled materials, available online.

The range, which hits stores this fall, was made with materials such as recycled PET from plastic bottles and recycled cotton to create a fresh, modern interpretation of DIESEL's casualwear aesthetic combined with Coca‑Cola iconicity to make a statement. The collaboration aims to raise awareness on the value of recycling with all pieces made with recycled PET fibers.

To showcase the value of recycling to conscientious shoppers and style-seekers across the globe, DIESEL x Coca‑Cola: The (Re)Collection will be available exclusively online starting Sept. 27 by scanning any recycling logo worldwide, giving access to a hidden site on DIESEL.com to shop the collection.

Diesel 2019 F/W Campaign Enjoy Before Returning

Ahead of New York Fashion Week, Diesel has embraced the "enjoy before returning" approach with a tongue-in-cheek spot.

The 60-second ad shows sharply-dressed shoppers boasting their new outfits, tags on display, as a punk-rock narrator recites the fashion brand’s return policy. While the brand (obviously) isn’t too keen on customers returning their pre-loved items, the campaign maintains Diesel won’t hold it against them.

The brand is also set to host a "return party" for once-worn items, taking place during London Fashion Week. The work was written by Sébastien Rouvière, art directed by Andrea Sarcullo and directed by Similar But Different through Smuggler.
