Andreas Melbostad – Diesel Black Gold’s newly appointed creative director, showcased his debut womenswear line for a\/w13 at New York’s Pier 57 complex on Tuesday. We sat down with the Norweigian-born designer – who replaced Sophia Kokosalaki in August – to talk through his fantastical, reference-driven collection. <\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n What are your key inspirations for the a\/w13 Diesel Black Gold collection?<\/strong><\/p>\n Velocity is a key topic a collection designed around the inspiration of a Gas Station. Iconic motorbike style, denim and tailored garments has informed new hybrid garments fusing different iconic references together.<\/p>\n As the new creative director of DBG, are you looking to put a new stamp on the collection – if so, how would you describe it?<\/strong><\/p>\n I like the irreverent attitude of the brand and I am inspired by its brave and bold approach. I’ll keep on addressing our women with a strong sense of self-consciousness, adding a particular focus on cut, fit, construction and structure of my designs. I like well tailored pieces and I like recognizable references.<\/p>\n
