As I'm not lucky enough to attend any of the fashion weeks, I've been keeping up with them on social media sites, Twitter and Instagram. Two shows that caught my eye from Milan Fashion week this week were the Moschino and Dolce and Gabbana shows. From cartoons on jumpers to babies as accessories, MFW seems to of been slightly more up beat than you'd expect.
Although extremely cute, it was slightly unusual and more of a shock to see babies and toddlers appear on a catwalk alongside some much more mature models. It's definitely noticed within Dolce and Gabbana's fashion campaigns, that they have a strong theme of 'family' surrounding them, however it seems that this time they fancied creating a more mothering atmosphere, and what better way than to have very well behaved kids walking the runway. I can't deny that I'm a big fan of the Italian fashion house, I love the elegance and femininity in their campaigns and shows, and it nice to see a change in fashion, in celebrating motherhood.
Not all change is good though, since Jeremy Scott was announced as the new creative director of Moschino, I've began to hate it more and more. I've never really been a fan of Moschino, it's always screamed "tack" to me but now it not only screams "tack", it also just says "trash" and "cheap" all over it. Last year we had a McDonalds inspired collection along with Spongebob, and this year we've got graffiti'd dresses and the Loonely Tunes on jumpers, whats next? The Simpsons?
