With his third menswear showing for Diesel Black Gold Creative Director Andreas Melbostad is well into his stride. Continuing to carefully tweak the staples of his man’s wardrobe-namely high quality denims, and leather jackets invested with artisanal detailing, his new collection also tackled the concept of tailoring.

Maintaining a youthful and almost light-hearted edge, several looks were clearly inspired by the uniforms of British Public schoolboys as opposed to Savile Row. Whilst embellishments included a DBG crest, a sense of rebellion was also built through several distressing techniques, and silver hardware that seemed transposed from biker gear.

While last season’s Indie boy was distinctly mid-90s, this collection seemed to carry the genre on through the end of the decade. A time when the look – as though borrowed from an older sibling and modified, gathered a slightly harder edge from nu-metal, and other heavier rock experiencing a mainstream renaissance. The addition of hoodies, technical looking outerwear, and black fingerless gloves reinforced this feeling.
