Ironic Iconic..

The Moschino AW14 show was rather over-shadowed by the tardy arrival of one of it’s models, the pop singer Katy Perry. Some say her showing up late was the behaviour of a spoilt brat. Other’s argue she was set up or let down by others and it wasn’t her fault. The audience certainly weren’t happy and made the fact known. I say, if you are late, take it on the chin and have the grace to apologies. Swearing shows a distinct lack of humanity.….although Jeremy Scott, the King of Junk Culture was probably more than happy, sitting in a dark corner chuckling to himself, lapping all the media exploitation straight up like a rich tabloid milkshake..
Once started, he proudly paraded the Macdonald’s golden arches down the runway ‘homaged’ as potent tongue-in-cheek representation of Chanel’s iconic logo.
More caricatures of Chanel statement pieces were served up in quick succession.
This was ‘fast fashion’ in a satirical multi-layered pret-a-manger sandwich with extra relish. A brilliant parody of high street and designer, bright, stand-out and ‘of the moment’ this Collection needed to hit the shop floor running – and that’s exactly what Jeremy Scott did. A soon as the first model stepped onto the runway select pieces of the Collection became available online. No six month wait. No time for copies or ubiquitous ‘interpretations’, Jeremy Scott had done all the handwork, taken all the risk..after all the mocking and the finger waving, buried underneath the crowd pleasing a slick machine was at work..with style and showmanship he triumphantly demonstrated that fast fashion can be designer fashion…and be quick as well.
There’s one thing no-one can deny – Jeremy Scott is a man who understands the fashion world through and through…and is prepared to run wild with the times…
Laters, Kate x
Maison Bentley Style 
Were you there? If so: how lucky!
In my dreams I was!!
Wow, the outfits are so creative !
There was a section in the middle that was more typical Moschino..but these are the really out-there ones! x
Everything on the menu and fries to go please…..
It tickles me pink that rich women could soon be seen walking the streets in a Macdonalds uniform! x
What an eventful show but how fresh and sassy those creations are!!! Xxx
He’s a clever man! x
My expectations were high and still this show was even better than what I had expected ! Franco Moschino must smile so much in fashion paradise ! xxxxx
I think he would be delighted with Jeremy Scott..prepared to laugh at the fashion world..but also a crowd pleaser..very rare.. xxx
Jeremy Scott has once again given the fashion world delicious “food for thought”…
as he continues to say “Bon Appétit” when it comes to stand-out style!! ~xo
PS and as a “side” note…lol…
adore model’s chopped pixie cuts~
Isn’t the pixie cut fab? Short hair is on the march again… x
I am digging the shoes and kinda hungry for French Fries
And altogether edible Collection then! x
Seriously thinking of getting remarried to wear the last dress – although with 3 tots in tough I won’t probably find any suitors except for my current husband hahaha
Are you sure?? You know what they say..once bitten………hehe
The dress Katy Perry was wearing is so unflattering! It bunches in weird places, it looks like it’s too small for her. I’ve seen so many pictures of her and she just looks awful.
I couldn’t agree more! x
Who’s Katie Perry? 😉
I like your style.. x
🙂
I had a good chuckle as well! They are hilarious! Very Jeremy Scott…
