Italian denim brand Diesel was launched in 1978 by Renzo Rosso and Adriano Goldschmied. Diesel first made a name for itself during the 1980s and 1990s, selling jeans that looked and felt like vintage denim, but the company quickly garnered a reputation for more experimental finishes. These jeans have been stone-washed and then bleached in a pattern that effectively reverses the typical look of wear patterns.
