Diesel Jeans
Press Day Preview: Diesel Spring/Summer 2012
I got the chance to go to the Diesel Headquarters in London two weeks ago to see all of their new styles and learn more about the new direction they are taking the ladies collection in. Here are some photos from the Spring/Summer 2012 collection for both men and women.
The men’s collection is exactly the same, they haven’t changed anything except they have some new styles and washes like they do every season. They did have some really pretty washes there though. The washes are always what entice me when it comes to Diesel. I find they are experts in getting a really amazing colour and depth to their jeans. Sometimes they can bring out the most beautiful wash ever while other times they have normal shades.
The ladies collection is completely different now. Like I mentioned last week, the line is going in a new direction. They are only having 5 different cuts, soon to be 6, and those cuts are coming in different washes. The labels are different, they are more plain and the jeans are less embellished and branded. They are aiming for more simplicity and femininity. The shoes are all heels and sandals now and they are even doing maxi dresses. It’s changed a lot.
It’s very scary so I hope it does well for them. Luckily the Diesel strip on the coin pocket will always stay there. I know the guys are very fond of Diesel so let me know if you have any questions about the collection, like jeans or washes, and I will try and help you out. I also saw the Autumn/Winter 2012 collection which is even more amazing! I can’t share that with you yet though.
Katie Price in Diesel Matic
Katie Price was seen getting her nails done in West Hollywood in Los Angeles, California a few days ago. I always find it strange how different the LA paps are to the British ones. The LA ones, I find they stalk the celebs so much, while over here, they don’t do that as much. It’s not that often we get candids of Katie over here.
Katie wore one of her favourite denim brands, Diesel. She chose their Matic 881P skinny jeans which she paired with ankle boots and a faux fur cardigan. We have spotted Katie in quite a few pairs of Matic this past year. I wonder how she’s going to cope now that Diesel have re-designed their whole women’s line and the old cuts like Matic no longer exist? I suppose it’s a good job she has all of her old pairs like I do! Buy these jeans online at Diesel for £250.

Austin Butler in Diesel
Austin Butler went to go grab some lunch with girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens in Los Angeles, California. He wore a pair of Diesel jeans. It looks like Vanessa found herself another Diesel fan.
I think the wash of these jeans is really nice. I like the medium tone of them. Plus I m happy to see a great Diesel pair out. Now that Austin is wearing his Diesel; I wonder if we’ll start seeing Vanessa in her pairs again. I would like to see her wear the Matic 8B3 again.
Diesel Fit For Life
We mentioned before that Diesel were re-launching their women’s collection and we can now share with you the new styles. ‘Fit your attitude’ is the new name and concept for the brand. While built on core Diesel values, the Spring/Summer 2012 Preview is a completely new collection with a fresh approach. Which means even higher quality and improved silhouettes in a modernized, strengthened and re-energized collection bringing together the best of the label’s heritage and an extra dose of Diesel daring. It’s a collection aimed at grown-up women – aged 25-35, brave, sexy and playful, with a real attitude. This is a lot different to the previous demographic.
It’s a new beginning for Diesel, the first collection created by a new style team. It began its work by understanding the new Diesel woman’s attitudes, desires and needs before rethinking her wardrobe. What does she really need? What does she think is an absolute must? Then it got to work and the result, from jackets and shirts to denim and dresses, provides her with something for every occasion and her every desire. I have seen the brand new collection at the headquarters in London this week. I will be sharing those pictures with you soon!
This isn’t just about a one-off collection; it’s about building the foundations for a whole new approach to how women dress in Diesel. It’s about creating new, but instantly iconic pieces that use ever-higher quality fabrics, with improved finishes, new silhouettes and better-fitting shapes, including a new 5 pocket line completely re-designed to flatter women’s bodies. And give her the right attitude.
The Diesel Spring/Summer 2012 Preview collection, inspired by the biker jacket, will be delivered in two stages. The first was released in November and the second will be in time for the Christmas and New Year festive season. The first arrival mixes black leather and denim, featuring touches and accents of burned orange, alongside long, soft, figure-hugging skirts and dresses that emphasize the body. The second comes with an attitude: leather jackets paired with viscose dresses and shiny sequins, and denim jumpsuits that come covered with zips to give another vision of the rock’n’roll woman. The color palette is based on solid blacks, whites and greys, but also features Diesel favorites such as military green and indigo. This foundation is supplemented by a high-impact, seasonal burned orange.
The 5 brand new cuts for Diesel are the Grupee, Getlegg, Bootzee, Highkee and Myguy styles but they have since added Flairleg. Six new styles for six new attitudes in a new story about women and their sexy and extremely comfortable denim. These will come in lots of different washes and be the only cuts available for the women now. It’s an end of an era for Matic, Lowky, Nevy, Louvely and more though, which does make me a little bit sad. The new styles do look good though.
Grupee: a super-slim-fit jean with a super-skinny leg, it features a higher yoke and draws its inspiration from a strong and free spirited woman in a sexy night out at a club.
Getlegg: a slim-fit pair of jeans with skinny legs but wider at the knee and with a higher back that’s perfect for a real and positive girl in her free time and everyday life.
Bootzee: jeans perfect for dressing up and hard days work, to feel sensual and sophisticated. A thin bootcut leg on a regular slim fit, with higher back pockets and a regular rise.
Highkee: the “night around town” denim, inspired by the fifties era, for a fashionable and chic look. Straight leg and slim fit with high waist and taller back pocket to guarantee a great look on the back.
Myguy: boyfriend jeans designed for spontaneous and playful women; the perfect denim for browsing a flea market on a Sunday morning. They feature a boyfriend-leg cut and a relaxed fit with a low crotch and slightly tapered leg.
All six styles have common features, though. Such as the construction of the belt area, which allows the waist to sit comfortably on the hips without leaving marks. Or the side seams, which are molded to the body and double stitched to balance the front and back. Or the higher yokes and bigger back pockets, which make your “derrière” look better. This creates a new and distinct common identity for all new Diesel denim, which is further aided by the use of a common back patch and back pocket eagle design. So what do you think of the new look for Diesel women?
Emma Roberts in Diesel
Emma Roberts was caught arriving back in Los Angeles, California at LAX Airport. It also looks like she purchased some Diesel jeans during her trip to the store on Halloween day. She was wearing a pair of Livier 65Z jeans for her plane ride.
Looks like we are getting Diesel sightings more often. Which I am starting to like. When they have a great wash it is amazing, like these on Emma. I really like these jeans. The wash has such a nice medium tone to it. They go really well with the red velvet shoes (which need to be tied). You can click here to purchase Diesel at Ssense.
Diesel’s Denim Shoes
Diesel is, and always will be, one of my favourite brands. It was one of the denim brands that actually got me into premium denim years ago, so it’s safe to say I am really fond of it. I love that they incorporate their denim into more than just jeans. They do bags, shoes, accessories and more in their famous Diesel fabric.
I had actually forgotten about Diesel’s shoes until I was in line at the cinema two weeks ago and a guy in front of me had a pair of the denim high tops on with some Safado’s. They look really good worn actually and I am in love with the lighter denim low tops above. They even have studs on them which I think is a nice touch. Are you a fan of Diesel’s shoes? You can buy men’s and women’s Diesel shoes online at their website here.
