To show off its cool spirit, sense of humor and unconventional approach to marketing, Diesel launched the unexpected 'Diesel x Mustafa' limited-edition collection.
For this apparel range, Diesel worked with a cult Berlin-based kebab kiosk and launched what it calls "the ultimate fashion collaboration" at Bread & Butter, an experiential Berlin-based event and online shopping hub from Zalando that provides consumers access to pre-launches and rare finds. This youth-targeted launch appeals to consumers who are always on the hunt for what's on cutting edge, be it food or street style.
The Diesel x Mustafa collection includes everything from jumpers and t-shirts to hats, which pay tribute to "the only true artist of Berlin," Mustafa’s Gemüse Kebap, while also offering a fun spin on the popularity of brand collaborations.
