Damiano David
Musician
The mercurial Italian rock star with an electrifying stage presence has expanded the landscape of contemporary masculinity with his bold fashion looks.
Damiano David is the lead vocalist for the Italian rock band Måneskin and the first global male ambassador for Diesel. Known for his electrifying stage presence and distinctive fashion sense, Damiano epitomises a spirit of nonconformity and creativity. His ambassadorship with Diesel includes a forthcoming genderless capsule collection co-designed with Diesel’s creative director, Glenn Martens.
David’s journey to stardom began with the formation of Måneskin in 2016, alongside bassist Victoria De Angelis, guitarist Thomas Raggi, and drummer Ethan Torchio. The band's breakthrough came with their victory at the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest, propelling them to international fame. This win not only highlighted their musical prowess but also David's charismatic and confident fashion choices, including a number of looks by Gucci during Alessandro Michele's tenure.
The Diesel partnership is said not to be just about fashion; it symbolises a broader cultural movement towards inclusivity and gender fluidity, reflecting David’s own advocacy and the evolving landscape of contemporary masculinity.
