RUNWAY: Diesel Black Gold FW17

Diesel's runway collection, Black Gold, is rooted in black, leather and a hard-edged aesthetic. That still somewhat ringed true for its FW17 collection but a sheen of elegance dotted this latest outing, with sharp, technical fabrics giving the collection's hard edge a softer and modern look, rather than one stuck in the 80s idea idea of rockers and bikers. Slightly oversized proportions seen on coats and light jackets offered rounded shoulders and a softer aesthetic, which is in line with how the rest of the industry seems to be going.
