What’s happened to Moschino?
At the Spring 2009 Moschino show, bows were ubiquitous, big ones, little ones, black ones and white ones. The show started with a monochromatic tone , but then quickly went into jewel tones of rose, emerald and topaz. My take on this collection was okay, nothing special, but not hideous. I miss the days of the over the top, at times campy, whimsical Moschino of the late 1990s; when pasta trimmed the edges of skirts and blouses, when milk cartons and boxing gloves were inspiration for a handbag, when the union jack was the theme of an entire show and yes, when the nanny named Fran wore Moschino every week on a show called ‘The Nanny’. I think it’s time Moschino went back to its roots when Franco was alive. A more fun, quirky and tongue and cheek Moschino. I just hope Franco Moschino isn’t rolling in his grave.
