The founder of the Diesel brand, designer Adriano Goldschmied, has passed away.
Italian designer Adriano Goldschmied, who created the Diesel brand, passed away at the age of 83. He died on April 5 after a long battle with cancer, reports WWD. Goldschmied was born in 1944 in Trieste to a Jewish family. His creative journey began in the 1970s, and in 1974 he launched the denim brand Daily Blue. Ten years later, he founded Genious Group, which brought together the Diesel and Replay brands. In 1993, the designer co-founded the Agolde brand, and in 2000, together with Yul Koo, he launched AG Adriano Goldschmied in Los Angeles, which helped jeans be perceived as a premium product. Goldschmied also collaborated with Chloé on denim recycling and developed a premium line for Gap called Gap 1969. In recent years, Goldschmied lived in Asolo (Treviso province), splitting his time between Italy and Los Angeles. He continued to work actively: he revived Daily Blue in an eco-friendly way and collaborated with Pioneer Denim, OVS, Isko, and ArtMill. Just days before his death, on March 23, 2026, he gave an interview to FashionUnited, where he enthusiastically talked about new projects in denim innovations.
