If there’s one textile that will always transcend time and trends, it’s denim. What was once the workhorse fabric of cowboys and labourers has made its way to high fashion houses like Dior and Balenciaga – especially in the Fall/Winter 2022 season.

Diesel’s creative director Glenn Martins, strengthened Diesel’s notoriety for denim in his Fall/Winter 2022 show that featured distressed denim trench coats and bralettes.
