Moschino Cheap and Chic RTW Fall 2012 |
“Makeup - and
Queen Elizabeth,” said Rosella Jardini, Moschino’s creative director,
talking before the show about the inspirations for the collection. And
there they were: Luscious lips on white blouses, dramatic eye prints
winking on ruffled skirts, and multi-hued fur coats inspired by the
squares in a candy-colored compact.Nods to Britain’s monarch — albeit her more youthful self - came in
the form of pretty pleated skirts in bright colors, and a cropped
military jacket and matching dress with oversized buttons. The Queen was
in the women’s branch of the British Army during World War II, after
all. An elegant, blush-colored, double-breasted coat with fur collar had
particularly regal airs.
