The photographer Nick Knight and Nicola Formichetti return to work together for "The Neo-Neoclassic", the pre-fall campaign by Diesel. The creative duo pay homage to the history of the Italian brand borrows images from the history of art, like the figures of male nudes and reworks them creating a hybrid that evokes Michelangelo and Futurist painting, which they described as "pop-style Picasso".

The shots are made using the IPhone, Democrat and current medium, and then reprocessed using apps like Glitchè. Designer and photographer choose to transform the obsession with the internet and the opportunity to create digital art and fashion. This campaign, which among its protagonists sees the actress, musician and star of the network Kiko Mizuhara, look to the past to go to the future, creating a new community. It 's a new kind of tribe in which reality coexist mutually opposite: Michelangelo, Picasso, Avedon, neo-classicism and the digital world.
