There is nothing terribly scientific about this list, and we don’t have nearly enough room here to tell you all the ones that we liked, but here we go, in no particular order…

Diesel Gets Ready for Global Warming

Once again, Diesel can expect some letters: their new ad campaign, with the tagline “Global warming ready” looks set to ruffle some ecological feathers when it launches in Dazed & Confused in early January. Luckily, there’s still a need to be beautiful and fashion conscious and, presumably, this is where Diesel will be able to help. Campaign devised by Diesel Creative Team and Gossip.
