Diesel: No Longer for douchebags?

Diesel took an unexpected turn with this series of ads for their fall/winter 09 collection. It’s pretty “out there,” especially when we’re used to Diesel putting out sexed-up crap like this. It’s hard to judge how good/bad this campaign is because the style is so difficult to categorize.

MORE LIKE BEYOND NIGHTMARES.

VERY SERIOUS.

WOULD YOU WATCH THIS MOVIE? I WOULD.

BRO VS SPIRIT BRO. WHO WILL WIN?

PLAY ON WORDS.

MAN/BEAR LOVE?
