The Diesel Black Gold Runway Show Fall Fashion Week 2009 -An Advice Sisters Feature (exclusive video)

*text and photos by Alison Blackman Dunham 

Diesel is an international design company created by designer Renzo Rosso in 1978 to create high-quality, edgy fashions for men and women,  featuring denim and accessories.  The Diesel Black Gold label is for those looking for edgier, more individual style. For this collection, the inspiration was the depression of 1930 (made modern) along with a bit of Oliver Twist and the heyday of the jazz age.   The looks were dark, layered, rumpled, a bit despairing, and quite costume-y. 

 

 

   

Of course there was plenty of denim. The outfit on the right reminds me of an 80's jumpsuit.

 

      

There was a lot to choose from in the men's fashions, from leather jackets and casual street wear, to a luxe evening look, complete with black and white spats!

     Although these looks might be a bit dramatic "as-is," the individual elements are chic, and wearable (although you do have to be fashion-forward to wear the jodphur pants on the right)

 

 

 

Here are the last two looks on a couple of models that walked the runway, together, and on the right, some looks from the finale.

Advice Sisters Video Exclusive!!!! 

I partnered backstage for the Diesel Fall 2009 Runway Show with television host Cognac Wellerlane to bring you an exclusive, Advice Sisters video look backstage, and that "front row seat" on the runway. I interview Amanda Fontanerossa of Creative Nail Design about the nail looks, Cognac Wellerlane interviews Makeup Artist Charlotte Tilbury for M.A.C. ...and check out the complete hair, nails and makeup looks on the runway!
