For all of you Diesel lovers out there, Renzo Rosso has quite a treat for you this Fall! I was lucky enough to check out the Diesel showroom this morning, so trust me when I tell you that these are some of the best pieces Diesel has produced. Slated to drop this July, I got up close and personal with many of the Diesel, Diesel Black Gold and Diesel Denim Gallery pieces from the Fall 2009 collection. Here’s what you can expect:

Despite the fact that weather elements may seem like a pretty generic theme for a collection, Diesel completely rocked out the “weathering” technique and had some awesome storm wash, and vintage rain acid wash denim for the fall. A new denim cut, the Wenga, with frontal pockets and a slight taper to straight leg, will hit stores this fall and is definitely a jean to add to your collection. Though I didn’t get to see a sample, men’s organic paper denim will be back this fall, and good news boys, they are designed to absorb odors, so no need to do laundry! My favorite addition to the Diesel denim family has to be the Matic jean, which brings back the work denim stripe in all of its vintage glory. While some of the weather themes got a bit too literal with print raindrops, I loved the foggy, wet looking leather jackets as well as the sunburn dyed sweatshirts. And for you girly girls out there, expect a slight digression from the androgyny Diesel is so well know for and look forward to a feminine future!

As per usual, the Diesel Black Gold collection is worth sacrificing a limb for. The luxury line, coming into it’s 4th season, radiated a marching band, old New Orleans jazz vibe. Like the Diesel collection, women can expect a much more feminine and refined collection, with a floor-length silk gown definitely worth splurging on. Of course, I couldn’t help by drool over the drop-crotch, tapered overalls. If you’re looking for unique, Diesel Black Gold has got some amazing leather jackets and vests with vacuum sealed badges, medals, confederate stars and buttons beneath the leather (they look embossed but the the pieces are actually beneath the leather!) And the best part of the collection? Well, there is limited distribution on the Diesel Black Gold label so you won’t see too many people rocking the awesome army-leather, drawstring knapsack!

Last but not least was the most exciting accessory of the morning: the Diesel motorcycle helmet. Originally created in Italy for all the moped users, helmets will be released this fall in a variety of basic colors. Part of me wants to go get a motorcycle liscense just so I have a reason to own one of these leather mohawk-ed helmets, though I guess I could wear it snowboarding? 

So, there you have it folks. Happy wish-listing!
