Diesel Black Gold Collection, Fall/Winter 2011, New York Fashion Week

The Diesel Black Gold collection brings a dimension from another era and a touch of military style to 21st century urban wear. The heraldic details recall a family history: the heroes of our past.

Yet these pieces have been openly remodeled with modernity.
In this new collection, it’s all about the detail, whether it’s the assertive construction of the garment or the delicacy of the materials. Diesel, a pioneer in the treatment of materials, asserts its know-how in the work of aged leathers, a malleable armor ready to survive the passage of time and its dust, or more likely, all the nights spent crisscrossing a city.

For the men, military clothing looks like something out of a sepia photograph or a long-abandoned truck. A romantic dishevelment that reminds us that some soldiers were also poets.

For women, the style is softened by the suppleness of suede and the softness of wools. Silhouettes were fluid, jackets structured and bustiers more wildly shaped. The coat of arms becomes the motif, the symbol of ageless style.

The strong presence of leather and denim underscores the collection’s natural toughness.
Once again, Diesel Black Gold has succeeded in transforming one of the essential elements of the worker’s uniform into a fabric capable of receiving sophisticated treatments.

Sophia Kokosaki and her team, while never losing sight of the essence of the collection, have succeeded in subtly integrating references to the 18th and 19th centuries. The result is a highly designed collection with timeless cuts and looks. Diesel Black Gold is Diesel’s gift to all those who understand that style has nothing to do with uniformity!
