What the Hell Were They Thinking?

This is a full length ad in the Diesel store window in Barcelona:


Am I alone in not understanding exactly what clientele Diesel is aiming at?

Arrogant young men who enjoy demeaning over the hill boxers?

Any other ideas? Please let me know.

    Shock value. That's the only explanation I can come up with. I guess in advertising, any noticing is better than no noticing.
