Jeremy Scott’s Tongue-In-Kitsch Moschino Fall Collection

Nuanced Eighties excess came alive with gold rope chains decorating necks, while also being used as piping on dresses + jackets.  More gold appeared as buckles on dresses, while bold letters, spelling out MOSCHINO made their mark on boots, purses, baseball caps + belts.  Pop culture references then worked their way towards the finale which was pretty sick.image

as did Mickey D’s.  There was a yellow ‘M’ for MOSCHINO, similar to McDonald’s, decorating a blouse, shoes + a french fries box purse.  But what really killed me was the cow print suit with the ‘Happy Meals’ purse.  You just had to ask yourself, ‘Would a cow really wear a ‘Happy Meal’ purse which is probably carrying parts of a family member?’image

Finally, the exquisite gowns with perfectly placed pop cult brands, such as Hershey’s +  Budweiser, made their appearance.  Yet, overall, the nutrition facts label wedding gown above, was my favorite.
