The black shirt with floral squares is the only item I'd envision having fad potential, the tie dye looks are unfortunately straight out of a Motel lookbook. Moschino's Cheap & Chic collections should be giving us cheaper 'it' items to rival Rodarte's RADARTE t-shirts or Christopher Kane's animal tees. Come on Rossella Jardin, you've got all the potential right there in your archives. See DKNY cashing in on a vintage revival this season, and the success of Jeremy Scott's novelty garms. Franco Moschino was doing novelty before Scott or anyone (even Mrs Fenty) had even heard the vocal stylings strangulations of a young Robyn Rihanna Fenty, even before Scott's Kylie loving days (oh the shame, soz kids, it happened). Instead we've got everyone buying 'vintage' (decade old) Moschino and Moschino fakes (as long as they've got the gold lettering eh?) from the vintage stores smothering Brick Lane.
There's oversized lace. Layered over mustard dresses. This is Chloe. The model looks like she's got the Lagerfeld for Chloe perfume box stuck to her teeny angry frame. It could even be Miu Miu or Vuitton Spring Summer 2012, but Moschino? Nah. Vuitton's exaggerated lace from that 2012 collection sticks in memory (despite the Frosty Jacks abuse). Ok Moschino, exaggeration is your thang - giant strawberry dress anyone? 'YES PLEASE' my voice screams from the back - but LV got there first, by two years. Let. It. Go. Don't just hope everyone's forgotten. No one forgets a Kate Moss catwalk.
Dress me as a fruit salad, that's fine, just don't bore me. I'm gagging to see how this collection is styled in their flagship stores' windows. Always my fave windows; the strawberry dress in Hagrid's massive blender was wonderful. It's this originality we look to Moschino for, it's why we don't bat an eyelid when they change their name to Love Moschino. Because we do, truly.
