While Diesel is known for showing their clothes through sexual messages, this season they decided to take the social commentary angle. Shot by Terry Richardson, the ads feature everyday scenes that have been drastically altered due to rising temperatures and seas. Global Warming is a hot topic right now and Diesel's aim was to take the serious issue and put it into the surreal world of premium denim. In this ad, parrots have replaced the pigeons of Venice's St. Mark's Square - signifying a world that's been turned upside down.

What do you all think of Diesel's socially aware advertising approach?
 
I think it's beautiful and totally don't see the social message. I do because it's stated, but I don't look and see the world turned upside down. To me it's more fantastical or dream sequence esque.
 
I love it! I have been to Venice a few times, and fed the pigeons. So I understood the picture right away. The other ad I saw had St. Mark's Cathedral and the Tower in the background, so it's more easily recognized as St. Mark's Square.
