The well-crafted summer collection by Sophia Kokosalaki at Diesel Black Gold is the ultimate free spirit collection. The clothes are constructed to give a vintage feel, with the hand-crafted accent of the West Coast and the sun-drenched landscapes of California. The result is an amazing range of clothing, something perfect for this summer’s rock festivals.

For all you vintage lovers who don’t fancy the season’s colour block, Diesel Black Gold offers a wide range of products that will transport you to a rugged landscape. Lots of garments have been finished with frayed hems, dyed to make the materials look old - suggesting the clothes have been worn and loved for many years.

We’ve selected some of our favourite pieces for you which are all available online.
