Best known for its denim and provocative adverts, Diesel was founded in 1978 by Renzo Rosso, who started to sew jeans at a young age for his friends and family.
He moved his first steps with Adriano Goldschmied and later as his partner, before buying his company.
The name meant to be universally simple, a source of new energy in a time when diesel was considered the new fuel.
Renzo wanted an alternative, something more than simple clothing exemplified by his slogan “For Successful Living”.
This dynamic brand is part of “Only the Brave”, Renzo’s conglomeration of unique brands, and today it ranges between fashion, home design, fragrances, and motors.

2. Gas
At the origin of the brand GAS, there was a family business until Claudio Grotto decided to design his own pieces in the early ’70s.
He founded GAS in 1984 and he took the inspiration for its logo – a double rainbow – during a journey in South Africa.
Since the very start, GAS was about denim for everyone with a particular focus on functionality and innovation.
The company has its own lab, the Artisanal Room, where new patents take form, like the first “heat-sealed” jeans (Research Denim 001) and the Reverse Denim, the 100% reversible jeans.

This fashion label launched in 1978 but – although Replay is linked to denim – it focused on casual clothing and shirts at the beginning.
The name reflected the aim of the company, that is looking at the past to inspired present trends.
Replay’s first jeans appeared on the market in 1989 as the result of an innovative fabric, the “Double Ring Denim”, discovered by the founder in Japan.
From the ’90s, Replay grew expanding with a kid’s line, followed by footwear, jewelry, and perfumes.
The growth faced a temporary halt in 2009, after that Replay restarted with important partnerships, like that with Ajax FC, a theatrical flagship store in Milan, and a new innovative denim, Hyperflex+.
