THE consistency of Diesel’s house codes continues apace in the brand’s Pre-Fall 2026 outing, paired with a spirit of experimentation that is inclusive, modern, and easy to wear. The collection builds confidently on established strengths while looking ahead, with a clear focus on the Millennial wardrobe. Outerwear plays a central role, while denim is even more essential, appearing across women’s jackets, skirts, and dresses.
A stronger sense of synergy runs through the collection, expressing the Diesel worldview across all categories. Sustainability remains a priority, as the brand advances its path toward circularity through lower-impact materials, treatments, and dyeing techniques.

Belts emerge as a key styling device, creating playful trompe l’oeil effects and reshaping the silhouette. A mini denim trench is cropped sharply at the waist by a wide belt, while what appear to be low-rise denim capri pants are in fact attached to a denim bodice, the belt marking the hips. The wide belt also features on classic jeans, paired with a satin-front top with knit sleeves and a low turtleneck.
Patent leather zip-up jackets introduce cocoon sleeves, a silhouette carried over from the recently shown SS26 collection. Heritage Diesel topstitching adds detail, while a matching below-the-knee skirt plays with a trompe l’oeil low waist defined by a wide belt. Elsewhere, mesh tops and skirts are double layered to soften and blur transparency.

Ultimately, the focus is on the clothes themselves. A bonded faux-leather, collarless cocoon-sleeve jacket stands out for its precise cut, while an aged leather biker jacket already feels well lived-in. Acetate double-breasted tailoring balances sharpness with ease. Solarised floral prints glow across trompe l’oeil wrap dresses and tops, while washed seersucker pants, skirts, and double-layer dresses feel destined to become long-term favourites.

Cable-knit zip-up jackets and oversized scarves are finished with leather trims. Shearling is shaved and printed to resemble flannel shirting. Pants adopt a pirate cut for added swagger, and argyle intarsia knits are constructed in double layers, with the top layer peeling back and held in place by the diamond motif. Devore denim tops and skirts recall the texture of cable knit, finished with crystal embellishment.
