And there was certainly a lot of attitude and character in
the designs the Italian fashion house showcased for its autumn
and winter 2017/2018 collection on Thursday.
Pretty much anything can be worn as long as there is a strong
attitude, according to Moschino, known in the sector for its
daring, fun and innovative styles.
The luxury brand designer will use anything from upholstery
fabric to shower curtains or even rubbish from black waste bags
for its dresses, and coat hangers and round hat boxes as
fascinators. A waste bin lid or a bicycle wheel are used to
easily replace wide-brimmed hats while objects such as
candelabras and feather dusters are worn instead of headbands.
The show, divided in three distinct phases started off with
models wearing beige clothes, trench coats and dresses that
resembled moving material and boxes, with signs saying "fragile"
and "this way up", or skirts made of layers of bubble wrap and
carrying accessories in cardboard and juta fabric.
It continued with multicolored looks of bright patterns inspired
by the street fashion of the 1980s. Accessories such as baseball
caps, backpacks and wide sunglasses adorned those strutting down
the cardboard catwalk. Models were wrapped in magazine-like
printed fabrics, walking to the beat of music by the late George
Michael.
The eclectic show ended with a model wearing a red velvet skirt
and top, choreographically ripped from the matching curtains at
the top of the runway on the notes of Giuseppe Verdi's Rigoletto.
She opened the way to tight black short dresses, white ones with
Moschino written all over them and more extravagant designs such
as a leather dress made of long black gloves.
