Diesel casts transgender models for new campaign


17 11 2016

Italian brand Diesel has unveiled its new campaign in collaboration with German clothing company About You.

The images feature transgender models Benjamin Melzer and Loiza Lamers. Melzer was the first transgender man to appear on the cover of German Men's Health, and Lamers was the first transgender model to win Holland's Next Top Model. 'Transgender models Benjamin Melzer and Loiza Lamers were chosen because they perfectly support the brand's attitude: free-spirited, against all odds and fresh young minds,' a Diesel spokesperson said.
