Diesel Black Gold is hell-bent for leather and raised on rock n roll. That puts it at a distance from much of the properly suited, decorous collections that have largely made up Milan s offering this week, but it had the courage of its convictions. Renzo Rosso s higher-end label showed the usual lot of skin, from oily perfecto jackets to leather pants to the suede-sleeved raglan sweatshirt knit. Tailoring was on the edgier end, with skinny shawl lapels and Carnaby Street stripes. There was one vintage-esque three-piece on display worn with—was that one of Milan s many turtlenecks? Ah, no: just the model s full neck tattoo.
