At the age of fifteen, he decided to stitch a low-rise bell-bottom jeans on his mother\u2019s Singer sewing machine. His plan was to wear it and later sell each pair for ITL 3500 to his friends.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This first piece ditched the usual aesthetics for men\u2019s bottom-wear. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the standard 30-32 inch seam was replaced with 42 inches seam. It had an exposed zipper in place of an invisible zipper. And tapered fit made way for a flared silhouette.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right from his first creation, Rosso showed his rebellious mindset (a quality that later became Diesel\u2019s trademark), when it came to designs, shapes, patterns, and silhouettes. The Italian fashion entrepreneur went against the design basics he learned at the Marconi Technical Institute and carved his own path, Vogue <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vogue.com\/slideshow\/renzo-rosso-diesel-dream-disruption-deviation-denim-book\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reported<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6787\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6787\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6787\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/social-DIESEL-5D-BOOK_Page_059-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/social-DIESEL-5D-BOOK_Page_059-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/social-DIESEL-5D-BOOK_Page_059-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/social-DIESEL-5D-BOOK_Page_059-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.vue.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/social-DIESEL-5D-BOOK_Page_059.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6787\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Vogue<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This was the designer\u2019s first step towards changing the fashion industry\u2019s and consumers\u2019 whole outlook on denim as a fabric.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Rosso <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/fashion\/article\/46735\/1\/diesel-dream-disruption-deciation-denimin-2019-new-book-renzo-rosso\">shared<\/a>,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u201cIn the 70s, it was a rebellion sign \u2013 a contrasting symbol between parents and sons. The adults wore pants with pleats while the teenagers wore skinny jeans. Denim was the sign of a social movement based on courage and freedom. That caught my attention and made me want to feel part of it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1976, Rosso joined Moltex, an Italian clothing manufacturing company owned by \u2018the Godfather of denim\u2019 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/observer.com\/2018\/04\/adriano-goldschmeid-godfather-of-denim-interview\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adriano Goldschmied<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In just two years, Goldschmied offered a 40% stake of his company to Rosso, which led to the formation of Diesel. The year was 1978. By 1985, Rosso became the sole owner of Diesel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The years spread across the 1980s were dedicated to experimenting with the denim fabric and infusing global elements that caught Rosso\u2019s fancy during his travel sojourns. From patchwork jackets that represented the Venice Beach scene to the red, yellow, turquoise &amp; violet jeans inspired by Mexican houses, from acid wash jeans to denim overalls, from baggy to skinny fit, the brand fearlessly celebrated denim in all forms, shapes, colors, and sizes. This uncompromising spirit enabled it to become the next status symbol and by the 90s, the Wall Street Journal crowned Diesel \u2018the label of the moment\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The Secret To Successful Living<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Italian fashion label became the \u2018label of the moment\u2019 and continues to be one of the most relevant brands by focussing on creating unique shopping experiences. Diesel was always more than a luxury denim clothing company. It was (and is) a lifestyle and an attitude with a distinct living personality. The brand not only poured resources into infusing personality in the fabric but also spent capital on creating a different identity through its physical stores and advertising.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the reason why it quickly became an aspirational brand. \u00a0<\/span>In 1998, the Wall Street Journal described one of its stores,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u201cFor these teens, Diesel is the label of the moment &#8212; unpredictable, irreverent, rebellious. A visit to the Diesel store near Chicago&#8217;s Magnificent Mile one recent evening finds it offering purchasers a bottle of Jones soda, a trendy Canadian brand. A disk jockey is playing alternative music. Diesel sells the occasional CD it considers cutting edge, such as a current &#8220;trip-hop&#8221; album by a band called UNKLE.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their 15,000 square-foot Manhattan store too had a similar vibe.

Their ads are bold, provocative, and deep, which are presented with typical tongue-in-cheek humor. In the 90s, the premium denim label was famously known for its campaigns that featured everything but their apparel. Diesel\u2019s campaign,<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u2018For Successful Living\u2019 &#8211; \u201ca parody of the promise of success and eternal happiness used to sell everything and everyone\u201d <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in Rosso\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vogue.com\/slideshow\/renzo-rosso-diesel-dream-disruption-deviation-denim-book\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">words<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; is one of the longest-running and most successful campaigns. Naysayers warned the brand by saying that its young target market doesn&#8217;t care about serious issues. But Diesel took the risk by taking the road less traveled and it paid off. It revolutionized how brands interacted with the young generation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u201cWe believe that young people, like everybody else, are interested in politics, in life, in discussing things \u2013 so we challenged people\u2019s minds.

We knew that we were right, but in those days it was a risk\u2026 I think in terms of advertising, it changed the ways you can communicate with younger people,\u201d <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/fashion\/article\/33763\/1\/making-the-worlds-most-controversial-ad-campaigns-diesel-jocke-jonason\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shared<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> creative director Jocke Jonason who worked on these campaigns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>In The Forefront Of Change<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be it differentiating its collection, stores or ad campaigns, Diesel stays ahead of the curve by studying the market and being tuned in to the needs of its buyers. This philosophy hasn&#8217;t changed in the last forty years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the 80s and 90s chronicled the rise of Diesel as an apparel brand, the decade starting from the year 2000 was dominated by strategic acquisitions. With a net worth of over <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theweek.co.uk\/98059\/diesels-renzo-rosso\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$3 billion<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Rosso founded Only The Brave (OTB) in 2002 and brought Diesel and the other acquired companies under it. OTB is now home to French luxury house Maison Margiela, Avant-garde label Viktor &amp; Rolf, Italian label Marni, and manufacturing company Staff International. The holding company also founded Brave Kid, a venture that handles worldwide production and distribution license agreement of children&#8217;s wear brands such as John Galliano, Dsquared2, and Trussardi.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In its next phase of growth, the luxury label is expanding its brand presence by connecting with the new-age buyers &#8211; the Gen Y and Z.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take, for instance, the fashion house launched \u2018The Diesel Red Tag\u2019 project in 2018 that supports young designers. In the last two years, the fashion house has collaborated with Samuel Ross, Shayne Oliver, Glenn Martens, and Gosha Rubchinskiy.

While the collection with the soft drink brand addresses the need for recycling, the alliance with the luggage retailer tackles the issue of privacy in the digital age.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>\u201cAs a leading pioneer in denim and casual fashion, DIESEL has always been known in the industry as an innovator. The (Re)Collection is a collaboration between two authentic and iconic brands that are both committed to more responsible business. Inspired by our vision of the future, we are collaborating with Coca-Cola to explore new methods of creating fabrics, whilst challenging ourselves to incorporate recycled materials in our collections,\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>asserted Rosso,\u00a0while talking about his company\u2019s venture with Coca-Cola.\u00a0While Diesel\u2019s efforts to go green and keep abreast of the digital age issues are on in full swing, the company continues to experiment with denim fabric on the other end.<\/p>\n<p>The brand introduced \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/fashionunited.uk\/news\/fashion\/diesel-denim-for-softies-fall-2019-campaign\/2019090545105\">velvet denim<\/a>\u2019 for its Fall 2019 collection.\u00a0It blends the resilience of denim with the soft richness of velvet. Another hybrid innovation from the house of Diesel is their <a href=\"https:\/\/hypebeast.com\/2019\/10\/diesel-jogg-jeans-will-beach-photographer\">JoggJeans range<\/a> that pairs \u2018the look of denim and the feel of jersey\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the 90s, Rosso and his team at Diesel recognized that young people care about politics &amp; economy and as a result became one of the rare brands that demonstrated respect in their brand messaging. In 2019, the brand recognized that young people care about the environment, their privacy and comfort, which resulted in alliances that are innovative and progressive. What has remained constant over the four decades is the label\u2019s approach and connect with the buyers. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that Diesel has aged remarkably, like a fine piece of sturdy denim with its distinct markings, attitude, and personality without losing its core identity and strength.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\">6<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span> To celebrate the milestone of completing four exemplary decades in the fashion business, Italian clothing brand Diesel has released a new book titled &#8216;5D: Diesel, Dream, Disruption, Deviation, Denim.&#8217; The book published by Rizzoli is an introspective and nostalgic walk through the last forty years of the iconic denim brand.
