Mumbai : After months of buzz, Italian lifestyle brand Diesel has entered the Indian market with two stores stacked with apparels, accessories, footwear, fragrances and shades here.
“I have always admired Indian people, they are very passionate about what they do and they have an innate fashion taste…We are very excited to be here,” said Renzo Rosso, president and founder of Diesel, at the launch of the stores Wednesday.
Diesel has partnered with Reliance Brands, a part of the Reliance Industries group.
