Glenn Martens left Diesel exactly as he found it, with denim, attitude and absolutely no interest in playing it safe.

For his Spring/Summer 2027 swan song, the designer turned Milan Fashion Week into a celebration of everything that made his five-year Diesel era so memorable, from exaggerated denim to barely-there silhouettes and plenty of chaos.

The collection pushed familiar pieces into strange new territory. Trucker jackets merged with quarter-zips, denim jackets became polos and jeans stretched into “pantasocks,” while shearling and lumberjack references appeared across unexpected fabrics.

As the show progressed, the clothes became smaller and more provocative, eventually giving way to tiny denim shorts and shredded-denim dresses that transformed the brand’s signature material into something almost lace-like.

Martens also looked back at his own Diesel archive, bringing Ella Snyder — who opened his debut collection for the label — back for the finale chapter.

Then came the real spectacle. Around 200 performers from Marseille-based collective (LA)HORDE, who had been sitting among the audience, suddenly broke into a chaotic performance before ending the show with a burst of head-banging energy.

Five years after taking Diesel beyond jeans and T-shirts, Martens’ final collection brought the story right back to where it began.

Denim, turned all the way up.
