Nicola Formichetti’s<\/a> first ad campaign as Artistic Director of Diesel showcases the coolest, bravest, and decidedly badass up and coming creatives on the fashion block. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n In his first advert campaign as Artistic Director of Diesel<\/a>, Nicola Formichetti<\/a> has taken an unusual route — no models. Instead, Formichetti has teamed up with photographers (and directors of Lady Gaga’s Applause<\/a>) Inez and Vinoodh<\/a> to create a series of portraits featuring some of the best and most individual up and coming creatives in fashion, art and beyond.<\/p>\n “The idea for this campaign was to merge the classic portrait photographic style featuring the new heroes of today’s generation: the digital influencers and creators,” says Formichetti.<\/a> “Visually, I wanted to highlight the individual beauty of our community. It was less about capturing fashion and more about getting an insight into these people’s souls.”<\/p>\n Diesel Reboot is the first major project Formichetti<\/a> has helmed since his appointment at Diesel<\/a>. Creating a rather unique presence on Tumblr (dieselreboot.tumblr.com<\/a>), Diesel Reboot brought together a community of fresh, new creatives both online and in campaign presented “meet-ups.” The result were countless new projects and commissions, all created by these artists and innovators, under the Diesel umbrella, showcased in international media publications and credited artworks around the world.<\/p>\n The AW13<\/a> ad campaign features a total of 18 individuals, with highlights including Bronx-born graffitti artist\u00a0 Michele Calderon, Japanese actress Kiko Mizuhara, and Casey Legler, the female Olympian turned top male supermodel (alright, maybe there’s a few models in there). And unlike a regular shoot campaign with a thousand different hands, each star-to-be was self-styled in the brand staples — Diesel<\/a> denim and leather — customised by Formichetti.<\/p>\n Undoubtedly one of the coolest and more individual campaigns this year, we’ll keep on the lookout for more of #DIESELREBOOT.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n
