Rihanna in Diesel

By | SSI Group Inc | No Comments

Rihanna steps out in a sporty look wearing several pieces from the Diesel Tribute Sport Collection, a Diesel capsule collection called ‘Aquahollic’: the F-Oxy sweatshirt with two zip pockets, T-Legend Top, and the P-Sub Aquahollic leggings. The songstress also carried the Diesel Axelle flight crew handbag with a removable shoulder strap and zip details similar to her clothes.

The Diesel Tribute Sport Collection “Aquahollic’ is a sporty capsule collection of men’s and women’s ready-to-wear, sneakers, and accessories. The collection is a tribute to London and Diesel founder Renzo Rosso, and was inspired by Nicola Formichetti’s visits to the brand archives where he discovered a 1994 Diesel collection. With updated fabrics, and an athletic mix of materials, Aquahollic was designed to feel “very today, very now and super sporty”.

In the Philippines, Diesel is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc., a member of SSI Group, Inc., and is located at The Power Plant Mall, Bonifacio High Street Central, Greenbelt 3, Shangri-La Plaza Mall and Estancia Mall.
