DenimHunt

Diesel Black Gold is the second of three collections by Diesel that were on view when they opened their showroom last week (see In the Showrooms: Diesel Spring/Summer 2014).

This has probably been stated already but, wow, what a departure from the past. After six seasons of Sophia Kokosalaki's strategically distressed denim and worked leathers, Andreas Melbostad, on his second season as Creative Director, is putting his own stamp on the label.

The collection is described by Diesel as showing both strength and fragility and, you know, there really is no better way to describe it. Although if I had to try I'd say it was both soft and hard or both weightless and solid.
