Author:Dara PrantPublish date:Sep 26, 2020Jeremy Scott's solution to putting on a pandemic-proof show for Moschino during Milan Fashion Week was clever, playful and very on-brand.
In lieu of a traditional runway, with models cramming backstage and guests sitting elbow-to-elbow in the front row, the designer shrunk Moschino's Spring 2021 collection and hosted a string puppet show, complete with marionette models — and a marionette front row — made by Jim Henson's Creature Shop.
Scott was, naturally, inspired by the way 2020 exposed "the apparatuses of what we know" when designing Spring 2021, according to the show notes. As such, the inner-workings of clothes are brought to the forefront — edges, seams, corsetry boning, panels, darts and trims all on full display. There's an inverted zipper halter dress, unfinished pockets on pants and jacquard trim that's sewn on backwards.
Done in a soft color palette — think toned-down golds and fairytale blues — the range is rather subtle and more wearable for.a house that has, in the past, sent a TV dinner kimono and a Picasso-style abstract guitar dress down the runway.
