Diesel has appointed Måneskin’s charismatic frontman Damiano David as its inaugural global male ambassador. This partnership marks a significant milestone for the OTB Group-owned brand, aligning with David’s distinctive style and the brand’s commitment to nonconformity and inclusivity.
Damiano David, known for his powerful stage presence and edgy fashion sense, embodies the essence of the Diesel man. His appointment strengthens the brand’s connection to the music world, a theme often explored in creative director Glenn Martens’ collections.
“Damiano has his style, very strong. And I think it’s a quite personal style, which is very well reflecting on how I like to see people today,” Martens commented in a video revealing the collaboration.
The partnership also comes with plans for a genderless capsule collection co-designed by Martens and David. This creative collaboration is set to launch later this year, further cementing the bond between the brand and the artist.
