Diesel's Rs 74,000 skirt that apparently looks like a belt has internet confused

High street fashion brands and luxury designer labels often come up with eye-catching yet bizarre pieces of clothing or accessories. While Balenciaga’s Rs 1.4 lakh “trash bag” could have taken the crown or crazy ideas easily, Diesel may just as well find a place on the list.

The Italian clothing company has come up with a skirt that has divided the internet. “The diesel skirt literally looks like the hip brace I have to wear to prevent dislocations,” one Twitter comment read. The skirt, put in place with velcro has an uncanny resemblance to a belt.
And while the interne debates the practicality of it, many have pointed out that the skirt is simply a belt.

Weeks ago, the retail company posted photos of its latest item worn by Oscar winner Nicole Kidman on Instagram that confused people. The comments were not exactly kind either.

The “mini skirt” is Diesel’s creative director Glenn Martens’ creation aimed to showcase 2000’s style which saw a rise in low-waist bottoms. The 795 Pound (Rs 74,154) skirt/belt has grabbed the internet’s attention.

“Genuine question. Did you look at that ‘skirt’ and think of practicality?” The video was essentially an unboxing and review of the ‘skirt’,” one user asked in a TikTok video.
