Collection Color Analysis

Diesel have played with hundred colors from primary to outrageous colors.
If we glance the collection from season to season,
we might think that 25-40 colors were used in every season.
However, if we group the outfits by the dominant color and usage of color,
around 3 to 6 collections could be classified in each season,
and then the color adoption could be traced.
(This is what I did in Color of Collection in Each Season !)

No matter it is shocking colors or pastel colors,
the impact created was very impressive.
The dominant color alone may be the attractive rose,
but the counter color which intensify the dominant color play an important leaves role.

The most common intensifying agents are black/white, gray and beige at most.
The black could be a tiny as a trim at neckline or shoulder to highlight the outfit;
or it could also be large enough to compliment the dominant color.

It's seldom to have contrast color in a single outfit, 1-2 outfits at most in each seson.
Although the colors chosen for each season are contrast of triad,
which is very American way,
the use of color conform to elegant Italian style.
