Jeremy Scott owns kitsch and whimsy better than any designer on the planet: returning Moschino
to the kind of quirk and eccentricity that Franco Moschino would be
proud of. His signature humor was on display for Fall, though with a
historical slant—il falò delle vanità (bonfires of the vanities) were at the foundation of the collection this time around.
Way back in the 15th century, Dominican monks faced the luxury and indulgence of the Renaissance by burning arts, books, clothing, furniture and more in Florence. A path of wreckage was left in their wake, though of course the era triumphed. This of course laid a great foundation for the kind of double entendres that Scott loves so much. Red carpet-ready gowns appeared singed with burn marks, while gaudy graphics like lips accented with cigarettes accented functional LBDs.
Accessories were playful, yet wearable including chain link-detailed newsboy caps, pearl and crystal drop earrings, logo necklaces, and clutches strewn with cigarette motifs.
A biker vibe pervaded over the collection as well: clearly substituting leather-clad models for those flame-throwing monks centuries ago. They also donned buckled chokers, glamorous taffeta tops, sultry swiss dot bodysuits, waterfall hem skirts, crop tops, and hot pants.
“Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere” is one of the quotes spread across a bag in the collection. We can’t confirm the truth of this statement, but we do know that bad girls have a lot more fun when it comes to fashion.
