Sophia Kokosalaki Is Doing Denim for Diesel Black Gold

>> First Ann-Sofie Back signs on as head designer to help Cheap Monday branch out from its denim roots, and now Sophia Kokosalaki is joining Diesel Black Gold in a lead design role: is this a trend coming on, name designers helping to restructure denim brands?Black Gold is Diesel's high-end contemporary line, and Kokosalaki is being brought in to overhaul the brand — which is not showing a Spring 2010 collection at New York Fashion Week this September as it typically would — starting with the relaunched Fall 2010 collection next February.  Kokosalaki nearly always wears black and denim herself, and Diesel chairman Renzo Rosso has full faith in her "incredible" talent and "skill in dealing with denim and contemporary casual, the core of Diesel Black Gold."  The position is quite a change from her stint as creative director of French house Vionnet.

>> First Ann-Sofie Back signs on as head designer to help Cheap Monday branch out from its denim roots, and now Sophia Kokosalaki is joining Diesel Black Gold in a lead design role: is this a trend coming on, name designers helping to restructure denim brands?

Black Gold is Diesel's high-end contemporary line, and Kokosalaki is being brought in to overhaul the brand — which is not showing a Spring 2010 collection at New York Fashion Week this September as it typically would — starting with the relaunched Fall 2010 collection next February.  Kokosalaki nearly always wears black and denim herself, and Diesel chairman Renzo Rosso has full faith in her "incredible" talent and "skill in dealing with denim and contemporary casual, the core of Diesel Black Gold."  The position is quite a change from her stint as creative director of French house Vionnet.

Rosso bought a majority stake in Kokosalaki's namesake line last year, and her new position at Diesel has allowed her to acquire her label back from Rosso for an undisclosed sum.  She plans to continue to develop the line independently.

Keep The Light, Cut The Sweet

Suzy Menkes, ever the astute fashion observer, notes that as a new generation of fashion consumers ages out of girlish styles they looking for clothes that keep the lightness but cut the sweetness. Thankfully there are many lines to grow into as designers as diverse as Akris, Anne Valerie Hash, Issey Miyake, and yes even Chloé help us ease into our older years with light feminine clothing that is refreshingly free of cloying adolescence.

Many designers were trippin' for Spring. Whether it was an escape to India, a safari through Africa, or an excursion to Belize, exotica is one of the most exciting and adventurous trends to look forward to. Just Cavalli knows how to pack for it, so take note. It's easy to doze off into woolgathering when perusing these looks — maybe they'll inspire you to book your next exotic escape. What's on Fab's mind? I'm itching to go to Amsterdam or Thailand. Bon voyage . . .
