Jeremy Scott X Moschino, Fall/Winter 2014-2015
Italian fashion house Moschino has
teamed with cutting-edge designer Jeremy Scott for a capsule collection for
Fall/Winter 2014-1015. Seems simple enough, however the collection is causing
quite the stir amongst not only the celebrity elite, but also the masses of us
regular guys.
Moschino Specializes in ready-to-wear
often seen on celebrities and big wigs across the world. This collaboration in
particular turned into capsule collection that is immediately available to the
public for purchase.
A fashion powerhouse of that
stature has never seen this sort of accessibility.
We also get a look at the pricing structure, which is unheard
of for a collection like this.
For me, the
accessibility of the collection is only a small charm in the grand scheme of
things.
Jeremy Scott boldly created an
entire line inspired by McDonald’s. From sweater dresses labeled ‘Over 20
Billion Served’ to bags in the shape of milkshake cups, the collection is
magically silly and genius at the same time. Those famous yellow arches are
used in his collection as the new symbol of Moschino. The collection is
reminiscent of Andy Warhol’s pop art, but with a modern flair.
Some negative criticism would say
‘So what? He copied the McDonald’s uniform; anyone could do that,’ but the fact
is, nobody did it. Only Jeremy Scott did it. And in my personal opinion, he did
it flawlessly. The pieces themselves demonstrate a unique ability to straddle
the line of runway and ready-to-wear.
The collection has the editorial
flare consistent with regular Moschino collections, but perfectly translates for
us regular girls to wear. The classic and complimentary red and yellow offers a
bold look that immediately draws attention. The fit of the collection is not about
sexuality or the woman form, but more about a classic uniform (literally) fit.
The retro look of a McDonald’s uniform of yesteryear combined with bold, bright
prints offers up pieces that are fun and high fashion.
The entire theme of the collection is
satirical and ironic: come one, come all and order up your Moschino like
McDonald’s right over the Internet!
Of course, most won’t be willing to
pay $825 for a backpack, but that is neither here nor there…
Jeremy Scott created a ready-to-wear
line that is available over the Internet and that is just unheard of. Beyond
that, the line is crazy cool. There is really nothing else out there similar to
it. If I had ten thousand dollars to blow, I would most definitely be putting
that on my body.
And I sure as hell would do it more
justice than this lady:
