Kind of Blue, by Miles Davis, one of the greatest jazz recordings of all time. Diesel Black Gold Fall Winter 2009 collection is feeling inspired by the spirit of jazz. Glam and sophisticated, yet fuelled by improvisation and modernity, jazz and Diesel Black Gold belong together...
The collection0s silhouettes combine slim, fitted tops and jackets with easy work-wear bottoms.
Heavy fabrics are layered on light: silk with wool or leather. Classic styles like tweed and Prince of Wales check are reinterpreted with a modern twist. Colours are sombre and nocturnal: dusty hues mixed with tones of grey, white and black..
Women have a thirties touch. They're seductive torch singers, wearing precious evening dresses jazzed up with sequins. On other nights, these seductive sirens turn lingerie into cocktail outfits:
guepieres and corsets inspire improvised pieces with a smoky nightclub feel. And yet the prints and graphics in the women's collection recall plants and flowers, as if their wearers are secretly dreaming of a walk in the Blue Ridge Mountains..
Men are dressed for round midnight: the timeless elegance of a tuxedo combined with Japanese indigo denim that represents the hardy work-wear of the 1930s. Rugged checks add a further dash of frontier spirit. . .
Accessories are important when you're on stage as well as on the road with the band.
Women wear seductive high-heeled laced mules whose sexy looks belie their solid construction; whilst for the men sport sturdy but dandyish ankle boots. .
And of course there are bags. Women have a choice of a roomy raw-edged wax leather bag or smaller handbags adorned with tough metallic details: buckles, rivets and jewel-like rings.
Men carry big gunmetal travel bags or coffee-coloured pouches with a kitbag drawstring effect.
Styles are completed with grey felt bowlers and dandyish wooden sticks decorated with silver or ivory grips. ..
Sombre, stylish and careworn: when you're feeling kind of blue, it's important to strike the right note.
