New York Fashion Week Spring 2009: Diesel Black Gold

With show after show of colourful femininity, the Diesel Black Gold show was a refreshing change, presenting an edgy punk-meets-classic collection. Dotted with distressed denim that has been sprayed with bleach, menswear was given a new lease of life and interpreted for women. Add some low-slung cummerbunds, tailored military jackets, and feather millinery for some 19th century sophistication, and you have a casual too-cool-for-school range, sure to be a winner with the young crowd. Take for example, Daisy Lowe and Mark Ronson (pictured above, left) – this fashion week’s hottest couple, seen just about everywhere.
