The collection stays true to the format of the season using minimal colour's and neutral tones, relying more on texture to bring each ensemble to life. Each piece manages to capture your eye and the essence of the Diesel brand without being too over dramatic; the Black & Gold collection has taken some influence from 90's with the fit and overall rebel quality the collection possesses using leathers, cottons & furs to enhance and really zone in on the uniformed pieces. An overall amazing collection for sure and one we will most certainly see throughout this year, a wearable military uniform that will stand the test of time.
