Glenn Martens and Karol G fuse music, color, and attitude in a capsule inspired by Tropicoqueta
Diesel and global music superstar Karol G have unveiled an exclusive capsule collection that fuses the artist’s bold personal style with the brand’s rebellious spirit of freedom, self-expression, and nonconformity.
Creative director Glenn Martens designed the nine-piece collection as a celebration of Karol G’s music and creative vision, particularly her latest album Tropicoqueta, released in June. Inspired by the album’s vivid visuals, the lineup spans ready-to-wear, denim, swimwear, and accessories, unified by a palette of sunset orange and prints of lotus flowers and coconuts.
Standout pieces include an orange metallic bikini, a one-piece swimsuit, and a knit dress adorned with strategically placed lotus motifs. A floral-print T-shirt features the phrase LATINA FOREVA—a nod to one of the album’s tracks—while a gray denim biker jacket and long shorts shimmer with all-over silver and gold mylar. Accessories include a coordinating baseball cap, orange sunglasses, and an exclusive version of Diesel’s Double-D bag designed by Karol G herself, featuring a playful silhouette and custom lotus print.
“This collection with Diesel is really close to my heart,” said Karol G.
To me, Diesel represents what Tropicoqueta is all about: freedom, self-expression, and stepping outside of your comfort zone. I’ve loved the brand for so long, so bringing the world of Tropicoqueta into fashion with them came at the perfect moment.”
The collaboration deepens Diesel’s connection with Latin America and underscores the brand’s growing roster of high-profile creative partnerships, which includes Rihanna, Damiano David, and Hoshi. Diesel previously dressed Karol G for her appearance at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards.
The Diesel x Karol G capsule collection will be available beginning October 29 at select Diesel boutiques, department stores worldwide, and online at diesel.com.
