The pandemic might have disrupted the fashion parade for quite a while now, but it really got some creative juices flowing. With traditional runway being no more an option in the times of a COVID-19, many designers and fashion houses have come up with a unique idea of presenting their collections.
From couture films on virtual platforms to miniature doll-sized collections, many new and interesting things are coming up in the fashion arena making it exiting as ever. Just when we thought we could get over Dior’s mini mannequin collection, Moschino’s Jeremy Scott took things a notch higher and presented us with an out-of-the-box concept at the Milan Fashion Week.
Squeezing the size of the show, its models as well as the front row, Jeremy hosted a puppet show featuring marionettes models curated by Jim Henson's Creature Shop. The fashion film featured the models strutting the runway in elegant dresses and evening gowns wrapped frills and tulle and lacy high-low couture.
Going less dramatic than the previous year, the label presented his collection in soothing shades of poweder blues, soft pinks, pea greens as well as gold and black.
Statement bows, dramatic collars, furs and feathers along with some brocade detailing stood out in the collection.
Paying attention to every detail, the fashion film featured some backstage drama!
While Scott dialed down the drama in his collection, it was quite evident in his fashion film. The front row marionettes consisted of some lookalikes of famous faces like Anna Wintour, Edward Enninful, Hamish Bowles, Carlyne Cerf De Dudzeele, Anna Dello Russo, amongst others.
It also featured the designer in a casual Moschino top and a crown!
Though the collection highlighted subtlety, every detail was indeed put to life in this collection. Right from inclusivity in puppet models to imbibing every element of human-sized couture on the marionettes, the fashion brand ticked off all the right boxes. Despite the fact that the clothes were presented on small puppets, it never felt that one couldn't experience the 'larger than life costume' vibe which comes via a fashion show only.
Speaking to international leading daily CNN, Jeremy said, "As much as I loved working with the marionettes and as proud as I am of this show, I do miss working with real models and that energy and the energy of having a real audience and everyone gathered together.” “And I hope very soon I can do that in person again," he concluded.
