Long before the concept of designer denim was even on the map for most Americans, Diesel was perfecting its signature brand of stylized jeans for men, women, and kids. High-end denim brands have recently become a status symbol in the United States, but Diesel has long known that jeans can be the most versatile and long-lasting elements in your wardrobe. Why not make them as stylish as possible.
+5
As opposed to many of today's most successful designer denim brands, Diesel comes with an actual pedigree in fashion. This is not a denim brand, but an actual fashion brand with a specific focus on sportswear. Bear in mind, too, that sportswear in Europe, which now greatly informs the evolving US sportswear market, was traditionally a very different standard of style than it was here. Sportswear in Europe is more of a casual, active-lifestyle take on high fashion, whereas it has traditionally been little more in the US than clothing you might wear while exercising. A stroll through Barneys these days will give you an idea of the influence of European sportswear on its American counterpart, and Diesel has played a huge role in making that happen.
