About
Diesel was the brainchild of Renzo Rosso after he worked his way up the ranks at Moltex and eventually bought 40% of this clothing manufacturer owned by Adriano Goldschmied. He renamed it Diesel and designed his first collection in 1979. In 1985, Rosso took over full control of the company and decided to make worn jeans—something that was not on the market at the time. Diesel has evolved into a lifestyle brand defined by its edgy designs and global outlook, which it continues with Nicola Formichetti as creative director. Today, Diesel has 15 lines and 400 stores in 80 countries.
