For Spring/Summer 2022, DIESEL presents a short film showcasing Glenn Martens‘ first runway collection for the label.
The short film—made in collaboration with the artist and director Frank Lebon, and soundtracked by the British musician Leon Vynehall—lenses 4 sections of DIESEL’s evolved, brave new world as seen through Martens’ creative prism.
The film blurs the lines between reality and a dream. We follow the main character moving through a familiar yet slightly askew environment. It begins in a home setting, suggestive of a late night scene. From there, a shot of an urban street takes form, recalling daily—and sometimes frenetic—city living. Next, an elevator ride, which captures a kind of tailored take on both DIESEL’s heritage and Martens’ aesthetic. The film concludes in a trippy, alien room that’s bathed in a deep red filter; we’re not quite sure if it’s meant to be dreamt or actual, or somewhere in between.
A selection of key looks will be available in avant-première starting from September 2021 in key selected stores and on diesel.com.
