‘See me illumined…’ was the tune playing in my mind during the Diesel Black Gold Spring 2012 Fashion Show at Pier 94. The presentation was a story of artistic modishly mystique designs, and as the models blazed from the reflective installation backdrop, it was a look at me extravaganza. Imagine wearable high tech hardware in the form of varied leather and denim construction all nuanced with metallic luster and pizzazz. It was the perfect reflection of why this intensely structured wearable collection was one the best presentations this season and will be a winner for the Diesel addicts worldwide.
The show was titled ‘Time To Reflect’ and as guests including Gerard Butler sat in anticipation, one couldn’t help but reflect as we looked at the installation that comprised of giant silver panels. As the first model emerged from the giant silver panels, colorful tinny hues created a sea of metallic silver, colors, and styles that will create a new standard. Each model stomped by in clothes that are sure to command all eyes when you walk by next season. Each look conveyed a rogue metropolitan demeanor that added wonderful accents to the effect of the designs. Think utilitarian but high tech glow that some may deem too shiny for every day but I am all about it. There were leathers, fabrics of all hues and styles, and an assortment of apparel are certain to be expected from the Diesel brand. And to complete everything, the looks were accompanied by accessories to reflect the lifestyle of the everyday people as they rush by.
The entire collection boasted the future of everyday wear and promises to appeal to the tastes of everyone. The detailing on the men had them in more solids while the women had room to play with colors like pink and baby blues. The composition and embellishments superseded my expectations. Some coats included trench coats and leather vests over blazers, while the reflective jeans were assorted to fit into the theme in addition to the shirts, shorts, dresses, scarves, accented slippers and shoes. Together with the accessories, the look and feel of this collection’s bound to satiate the needs of the consumer. In fact, as a staunch Diesel advocate, I will definitely be one of the first in line for that hooded silver shirt coat and these new Diesel Black Gold Spring Designs.
