Jeremy Scott is an anarchist in his own right. He has long stuck a firm middle finger up to snooty, fashion purists with his thematic collections which are at once clever, witty and irreverent. His latest Moschino outing saw the designer clash aristo-punk spirit with surrealism, inspired by the work of Salvador Dalí. His models channeled Siouxsie Sioux with their sky-high, oiled-up mohawks and jagged up-dos. Their wardrobe of choice mainly consisted of classic Franco Moschino skirt-suits which looked like they’d been shot through an acid trip, fashioned from warped houndstooth and melting florals. Supersized spikes and XXL jewels lined sharp tailoring, velvet evening gowns and violet prom dresses that came frosted with diamonds.
In Moschino’s world, decadence and destruction live in harmony. Shimmering gold red carpet dresses came torn like fishnet tights and purple trains spilt from biker inspired leather twin sets. You could say the overall look was as if a punk was off to work at a big city job. Or if she was attending a swanky soirée with plans to tear the whole place to the ground. It made for glamorous dressing with serious bite.
