Denim jeans purveyor reconstructs and deconstructs urban style's iconic looks in latest collection by its high-fashion label at Milan Fashion Week

Every year, extravaganza like Milan Fashion Week features legendary Italian brands, and Diesel, a leading denim jean pioneer, is one of the highlights.

During Milan Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2017/2018, Diesel presented its luxury ready-to-wear line Diesel Black Gold Fall/Winter 2017 collection with a "new urban attitude" generated from nostalgia to fashion past in early 1990s.

Authentic familiar codes are deconstructed and reconstructed for a new repurposed look. Proportions are altered and functions are changed. A biker jacket becomes an elongated shearling coat, turns into a leather trench or into a front zipper maxi skirt. Sartorial staples become a trouser skirt, as well as a pinafore dress.

"It is all about the silhouettes, so we decide to go everything long," said Andreas Melbostad, the designer and the creative director of Diesel Black Gold.
