diesel – The Forumist

Material Semiotics

Flavia Tudosoiu — Sun, 07 Dec 2025 14:05:54 +0000

Soft tailoring meets artistic deconstruction, with elongated silhouettes, layered shirting, and fine footwear hinting at the season’s shift toward “intellectual ease.”

Crumpled, paper-like outerwear reflects SS26’s focus on eco-expressive textured garments that appear fragile yet sculptural. Meanwhile, hand-painted tops and asymmetrical styling nod to the growing presence of wearable art on the runways.

Together, these pieces embody the mood of the season: experimental, material-driven, and fluid in its approach to masculinity. SS26 menswear embraces vulnerability as style, proving that texture and emotion are as essential as fit and fabrication.

Whispers

Pejman Birounvand — Sat, 20 Sep 2025 10:48:16 +0000

The fall arrives with a quiet kind of magic, the last traces of summer still lingering in the air, like a memory that refuses to fade. It’s that rare in-between moment, when the warmth of the past season seems to hand you the courage to face what’s next. Autumn doesn’t just signal change; it invites transformation. It’s a chance to step into a new confidence, take on the challenges ahead, and play the game of life with a fresh, fearless energy.

Pénible

Aleksandra Sern — Tue, 15 Apr 2025 14:53:25 +0000

Set in Paris, Pénible follows a young woman navigating a twisted yet ordinary life in her own distinct rhythm. Sharp, self-contained, and always slightly out of step—in the best way—she embodies the raw, unfiltered edge of Parisian life. As spring settles over the city, the streets call for boldness. She answers with style, attitude, and a quiet defiance—moving through chaos with the kind of presence you don’t forget.

DIE CUT

Pejman Birounvand — Wed, 11 Sep 2024 15:18:34 +0000

A vibrant yet restrained color palette sets the tone—playful but controlled. The signature red intertwines with cyan, beige, and bleached blonde, creating a striking harmony. Various materials and silhouettes collide, where modern aesthetics meet historical echoes. This is a visual orchestra designed to ignite your imagination and inspire you to shine, even as the rain falls and autumn draws near.

Symbiosis

Pejman Birounvand — Sun, 05 Mar 2023 16:34:55 +0000

In modern dance, symbiosis occurs when two or more dancers move together as one entity, sharing energy and intention. This can represent a metaphor for human connection and cooperation. It also reminds us that we are not separate entities, but rather part of a greater whole and that by working together, we can create something greater than ourselves.
