Reflecting on the partnership, Daliwonga shared, “I’m excited to team up with Diesel. Their approach to fashion is all about pushing boundaries and staying true to yourself. I can’t wait to bring my passion for music and creativity to this partnership and inspire others to do the same.”

This collaboration places Daliwonga at the intersection of music and high fashion, showcasing the increasing prominence of South African talent on the global stage. As reported by Reuters, the Diesel show was a standout at Milan Fashion Week, marking another significant milestone in the brand’s evolution and reinforcing the power of music-driven collaborations in the world of fashion.
