Diesel x EssilorLuxottica sunglasses SS25: bold shapes and Y2K spirit

What makes this first Diesel x EssilorLuxottica collaboration unique?

For the first time, Diesel unveils a sunglasses collection born from its partnership with EssilorLuxottica. This exclusive alliance merges Diesel’s rebellious edge with the technical expertise of the eyewear giant. The result? A shared vision that pushes the boundaries of design, with frames that are anything but ordinary.

How does the Y2K aesthetic come through in this collection?

Oval shapes, sharp bevels, cut-out details, and mirrored finishes: the collection fully embraces the early-2000s techno-futurist aesthetic. The DL3004U, for instance, stands out with its narrow wraparound frame and red or bronze mirror lenses—a bold nod to digital nostalgia. Metallic pearls, a signature detail, bring extra attitude to this well-executed revival.

Where does the genderless design approach come in?

The collection takes an inclusive stance, with frames conceived as gender-neutral. Pieces like the DL6001U or DL1011 strike a balance between bold silhouettes and universal wearability. This design direction mirrors Diesel’s free-spirited, boundary-breaking ethos.

What materials and techniques define these models?

This eyewear line merges innovation and responsibility, using recycled acetate, bio-based nylon, and ultra-lightweight metals. Injected frames (from the TRINI-D-Y Plastic line) offer lightweight comfort, while TRINI-D-Y Metal and D-GIES designs explore floating lenses, dual-wire structures, and a raw-meets-hi-tech aesthetic.

Which models stand out this season?

Three frames crystallize the collection’s DNA: DL1013, spotted on the runway, brings oversized attitude and sculpted volume. DL6002U delivers a street-ready optical look with oval-angular lines. And DL1007, with its rimless cat-eye shape and industrial edge, redefines minimalism. Each one makes a bold statement.

Why spotlight this collaboration now?

Because it marks a new chapter in fashion eyewear: a line that blends Diesel’s radical edge with EssilorLuxottica’s excellence. At a time when glasses are becoming style manifestos, this collection offers a bold new vision—freer, fiercer, and more fashion-forward.
