Glenn Martens doesn't do quiet seasons. For Diesel Resort 2027, the creative director crammed utility workwear, sharper tailoring, and what he calls "millennial clothes" into a single pre-collection that reads less like a mood board and more like a manifesto — one built on the apparently impossible, according to Vogue.
Denim is still the house's spine, but Martens bent it into shapes it hasn't taken before. "Impossible" microskirts come with tennis-style built-in shorts underneath. Jackets are treated to convincingly mimic leather. Miniskirts are grafted onto baggy shirts to create hybrid rompers, and drapey tailoring arrives in viscose engineered to read as denim. It's trompe l'oeil as a design strategy — fabrics lying about what they are, silhouettes refusing to be singular.
The Subversive Middle Ground
Where the collection gets genuinely interesting is in its quieter moves. A distorted indigo cable-knit sweater vest, kitten-heel loafers with silver uppers, jersey dresses with athletic side stripes, and tennis-shirt wrap dresses all occupy that specific tension between normcore and street-smart. Tracksuits layered over shirting and cropped pants land somewhere between Le Smoking and post-millennial lounge dressing — polished enough to matter, relaxed enough to feel real. Coated canvas utility jackets and chore coats round out the workwear axis without ever feeling costume-y.
Martens is also leaning hard into transparency — aesthetically and philosophically. The Resort lookbook was shot against an actual backstage backdrop, no set dressing, no artifice. "It reflects the policy of Diesel: being about lifestyle while showing what's really happening," he said. That same openness extends to brand partnerships: a new Diesel x Tinder collaboration drops to celebrate Pride, with Martens deadpanning that it "shows we are for successful loving as well as successful living." Corny if anyone else said it. At Diesel, it tracks.
Resort 2027 confirms that Martens has found his rhythm at Diesel — pushing the house's denim codes into increasingly strange, increasingly wearable territory, without losing the plot entirely.
