Renzo Rosso, president of OTB, has announced Glenn Martens as the new creative director of Diesel.
Glenn Martens, born in 1983, is a Belgian designer who began his career with Jean-Paul Gaultier and, since 2013, he has been creative director of the brand Y/project. In 2017 Glenn won the ANDAM, a French award of which OTB is one of the historical supporters and, in 2018, he was one of the guest designers of the Diesel Red Tag experimental capsule series. With Y/Project, Glenn Martens has succeeded in establishing himself with a language outside the box, where experimentation is expressed in contrasts and in a conceptual layering game.

“Ever since I met Glenn in 2017 I saw his experience grow and his talent cement. Working with him on Diesel Red Tag, going through our company’s archives and heritage together, seeing him interact with the brand, brought us closer, and I am happy to now see him take the helm of Diesel, where he will marry his design vision with the iconoclastic values of this unique brand”, Renzo Rosso wrote in an official note.
We just have to wait until next year to see Glenn Martens‘ first collection for Diesel!
