The model who closed the Diesel fashion show in the city of Lombard created general problems on social networks. Many thought that it was the famous American supermodel.
A wind of confusion blew over the Diesel fashion show in Milan on Wednesday. Many observers were surprised to learn that the model who closed the brand’s spring-summer 2024 show on September 20 was not Bella Hadid. “Imagine me shaking in the pouring rain trying to adjust the brightness [de son téléphone] to snap the best shot thinking it was Bella,” the Up Next account hilariously tweeted.

In the video accompanying the post, we see a model who has everything Bella Hadid has: the same slim figure, the same piercing gaze, the same hollow cheeks and defined waist. However, you had to watch out for the highlights, the rain, and the camera shake…it was actually Dalton Dubois. A model from London who first walked the runway in 2022 for Burberry, before continuing her fashion journey on the autumn-winter 2023-2024 catwalks for Acne Studios, Alexander McQueen and Givenchy.
The art and manner of conveying messages
The London model’s Instagram page is also confusing. “I thought it was Bella,” “You remind me of Bella Hadid,” are all comments that accompany almost all of her posts. However, it’s perhaps no small feat if Diesel’s artistic director, Glenn Martens, aimed for an almost official Bella Hadid double to close his collection. “We can no longer do fashion like we did in the 2000s, we need a message,” he declared in an interview this year. Inrocks:.
Mise en abyss, play of mirrors, fashion as an eternal beginning. We still don’t know what the message of September 20 is, but the parade failed to make noise on social networks. Just like his last Fall-Winter 2023-2024 collection, presented last February. A mountain of condoms as a backdrop, and artist Alexis Stone transformed Jennifer Coolidge into the front row.
