After Cavalli and a drive by Mytheresa’s Negroni sbagliato-fueled cocktail party at Bar Basso (Diego Della Valle was walking in just as I was leaving), I traveled through the drizzle to the Diesel show, which took place in a graffiti-walled park called the Scalo Farini. While press and other V.I.P. guests were escorted to two closed-off areas flanking the raised stage, the rest of the 7,000 strong crowd—made up of lots of fashion students—hovered around or sat in the rafters, watching the show on a jumbo screen.
