Moschino fall 2018



You have heard the expression “tearing a page from” but have you heard of shredding some old look books to make a collection? Take away the buffoonery, the intentionally scenery chewing styling, the overtly obvious “references” to Gautier, Mugler, Dolce & Gabbana, Montana and more…. what exactly are you left with here?... a side show or maybe the entire 3 rings.

AND yet this is supposedly a heritage brand deigned by a supposed wunderkind of the 21st century… this is a design school project gone berserk, it’s a parody. Worse yet it’s an homage of  a collection to an menopausal entertainer who is still living off her past glories of fashion shock and awe if you can call it that. Talk about rabbit eared!

The bottom line here is once again. .. Being in the fashion business is about selling clothes and there are not enough circuses, dominatrix and or fashion victims to sustain clothes like this. Out of 80 odd exits maybe there are 30 pieces that can pass for wearable and those are hardly worthy of a stampede so what’s the point? This is nothing more than a show ... A tired one at that designed if you can call it that by someone who should go back designing skateboard wardrobes and referencing the likes of Sprouse.

Whatever is regurgitated in the press release and supplanted into a review should simply read here is collection for the fetishist in you ….please visit the pleasure chest at your earliest convenience or other pseudo S&M emporia in your area. Yawn!

This precisely what’s wrong with the fashion system ….  The emperor’s new clothes!
