You’ve got to love this collection of Moschino, Spring 2020 ready to wear collection which was showcased in Milan in September 2019. The creative director of the brand, Jeremy Scott made it look like a virtual tour of an art gallery, with models dressed up as artworks.
The Spring 2020 collection depicted Spanish culture, the major part being the spectacular artworks of the artist, Pablo Picasso.
In an interview with Nick Remen(2020), Scott said, “His work is just iconic. If you show someone something that’s abstract or figurative, people might guess it’s Picasso, even if it’s not. That’s how much he is a part of the cultural conversation. I’ve wanted to do a Picasso collection for a long time”.
Scott played around the different versions of the Guitar Sculpture(1914), one of which was seen on Kaia Gerber. A diamond-patterned jumpsuit with ruffles on its collar, inspired by “The seated Harlequin (1901)” was worn by Bella Hadid. Gigi Hadid walked the ramp as Picasso’s bride. Keeping the Spanish culture into consideration, a flamenco style dress was seen on a model. A headgear with horns was also used. The best part of the show was a dress made out of a gold leaf frame, which made the model look more like a painting. Adding to this wonderful collection, were the strokes of paint in different shades, down the hair.
Jeremy Scott, known for his humor and his personal style, played with asymmetry as well. Most of the outfits had exaggerated or asymmetrical shoulders. The props, such as the hand that was worn as a glove wasn’t something usual as well. This collection incorporated a lot of colors and a proper set of a theme. It brought a tint of nostalgia just like his other designs.
The unrealistic silhouettes and this colorful art-inspired collection of all times direct towards one main thing and that is the art of skill. To mimic such beautiful artworks into designs is something that is mastered by Jeremy Scott. The designs gave a theatrical feel to the garments and it is merely not a fashion collection, it is an experience created for you to bring art and fashion together.
