moschino f/w 2014

I'm sure everyone has seen Moschino's FW 2014 by now. Being Jeremy Scott's first effort for the house, everyone was waiting, perhaps with bated breath, to see what he would bring to the table.

He's always been known for his outlandish schtick (remember those ridiculous Adidas shoes with bloody wings sprouting off them?), so we shouldn't be surprised by this. But all I felt watching this show was an absolute sense of ridiculousness. It was weird and wild and maybe OTT (that's an understatement) but in conclusion I didn't really like it. Using gimmicks and taking your cues from other places... namely McDonalds, I don't know. That just screams tacky to me. All I could think of was 'Isn't the use of that M sign some kinda copyright infringement. It has to be. They're even known as golden arches for crying out loud'. I should feel excited and inspired when watching a fashion show, not vague confusion. Many people have loved this but honestly I don't. This is some Urban Outfitters level of designing right there. The cuts of the dresses were just off and is anybody really going to wear that?! Or well, maybe I just don't understand Jeremy Scott.
