Andreas Melbostad took over as head designer for the Diesel Black Gold’s men’s and women’s collections in 2012, tasked for the past eight seasons with continuing to define Diesel Black Gold’s identity as a contemporary brand, separate from its founding company.

We asked Melbostad to share five of his favorite Instagrams from the campaign and tell us more about his inspiration through their lens.
