For his first IRL spectacle for the Italian denim brand, the Belgian designer – who’s been having a serious moment thanks to his critically acclaimed showcases at Y/Project and Jean Paul Gaultier haute couture – delivered a jaw-dropping collection that explored a contemporary take on Y2K style. But, it was the striking miniskirts that sent social media platforms into a frenzy.

From a leather version in black, cherry red and chocolate adorned with the brand’s oversized logo to a dramatic denim take with belt holes from top to bottom – these skirts are so tiny that only the brave can wear them. It’s only a matter of time before we see Julia Fox, who is in Milan, rocking a full Diesel look.

We salute thee, Glenn Martens. With three brilliant collections delivered consecutively, consider that a fashion hat trick for the history books.
