Diesel Clothing
The label Diesel was born more than 30 years ago and is today an innovative
global design company, developing jeans and casual fashion as well as
accessories. It is present in over 80 countries with 15,000 points of sale
and over 50 company-owned stores.
When Renzo Rosso founded the business in 1978,
he wanted it to be a leader, a company which took risks and carved out
a niche for itself in its field. From it's early beginnings in Molvena,
Italy, Rosso encircled himself with creative, gifted people - innovators who,
like him, rejected the trend-following typical of the fashion industry. Renzo
sought to come up with an added dynamic and imaginative line of clothing than
was unobtainable anywhere else. He opted to give his broad-minded new
designers a stylistic freedom, hoping they could produce a line of fashion
perfect for people who follow their own self-governing path in life. In particular
for those who choose to express their individuality by the way they dress.
From
the very start, Diesel’s design team shunned the style-dictators
and consumer analysts of the fashion world and let their
own tastes inspire them. It is for this reason that Diesel instantaneously
became a principal in developing styles, fabrics, manufacturing methods
and quality control, almost guaranteeing an outstanding quality product.
The company views the planet as a single, border-less macro-culture. And the
Diesel team mirrors this: a wide assortment of people and personalities
from all parts of the world, creating an impulsive, dynamic vitality
and energy within the organisation. Diesel people and their working methods
are so different, and yet prolific, that they have been profiled in countless
newspapers, magazines and documentaries, and have been studied by international
corporations, consulting organizations, universities and business schools.
Diesel’s “milestones” include
years like 1978 (The brand name Diesel was incepted), 1985 (Renzo Rosso’s
complete acquirement of the company), 1991 (start of the global marketing
plan) and 1996 (opening of Diesel’s first flagship store on New York
City’s
Lexington Avenue).
Since the launch, Renzo Rosso had a vision, to address
the world with one product and one language, and one of his first moves
was to build a fortified and vast distribution network, stretching across
all 5 continents.
