Moschino brought fun to Milan
Anyone else find +Moschino Official Autum/Winter 2014/2015 Milan Runway colorful and amusing? hehehehe.
THERE are certain designers who are simply destined for certain fashion houses. So it was no real surprise when, following +Rossella Jardini’s departure at the house of +Moschino , American designer +Jeremy Scott was asked to step up to the challenge last October.
This is a designer known for his loud and proud attitude to fashion. He’s about fun, making a statement and irreverence - and that’s before we’ve even got to the clothes. And Moschino is about tongue-in-cheek riffs, caricature style. Which meant as first date fodder goes this was surely going to go pretty well.
Scott plundered pop culture and the world of fast food to reincarnate that Mos wit, albeit a little more literally than we’ve seen of late. This wasn’t a collection about nods here and there, it was a collection about transforming a model into SpongeBob SquarePants, or a server at McDonald’s (in the chicest uniform you’ve ever seen, of course), a packet of biscuits or a Hershey’s chocolate bar. Who knew they could turn so well into a ballgown or two?
He served up (very literally on a tray) quilted bags in fast food chain shades and worked the McDonald’s “M” into the Moschino heart. It was a love-in of fast food and fast fashion – which is exactly what inspired Scott.
Take a look............................
Beautiful work.

same fabulous look different price.........
Box shape is now a staple in our bag collections. It’s still a fun diversion from your go-to essentials, though, which is why it can be hard to justify splurging on a piece like this +Maison Martin Margiela for $1,745.
If you’re hesitant, and you are like wow!!!! i dont have that kind of money, dont worry i gat your back *wink* go with +Pour La Victoire’s black Bonne Tonne for $395.
It has all the personality at less than 1/4th of the cost! Each option has its own unique merits , a suede panel decorating and a metallic insert on the jade MMM (while just a silver sliver when closed, open the flap and the mirrored accent can’t be missed). The latter is also a little larger and more structured.
Really there’s no right choice here. Oliver Twist me * wink*
What do you think ?
which box bag wins this match?
Which is to die for ?

Moynat in London
FRENCH luxury handbag label +Moynat may not be a name popularly known especially by many
British shoppers are familiar with yet, but that's all set to
change with the opening of its first London store. Owned by luxury
conglomerate
LVHM
(the company which also counts +Alexander McQueen and +Louis Vuitton
within its stable) Moynat has been making its understated, finely
crafted bags in Paris since 1849, but its relationship with Britain
goes back a long way.
British travellers were among our earliest international customers," Moynat CEO +Guillaume Davin
The Hotel du Louvre was a
preferred destination for discerning tourists and the first Moynat
store was located across the street. London has an energy, a spirit
of adventure and a taste for elegance that makes it a natural
destination for the house."
Although the label's signature is its trunks, its current
collection includes a mix of satchels, boxy styles and clutches in
colourful shades of red, blue and orange, as well as understated
black, navy and tan. Each style imbues a subtle simplicity that
reflects its Parisian origins."The core of the Moynat aesthetic is definitely French, even Parisian, with an emphasis on art de vivre, the links to the theatre, the performing arts and travel," said head designer Ramesh Nair. "The Moynat design philosophy is universal; it speaks to anyone who appreciates fine workmanship, discreet elegance and attention to detail."
Although Moynat's London store, housed on Mount Street in Mayfair, will sell two bespoke styles created for a British market, Nair doesn't design according to specific markets.
"Our customer is passionate about rare and timeless objects that combine functionality with beauty and craftsmanship," said Nair. "These are people who appreciate and are used to the finest levels of quality; I like to surprise them with our innovative approach and personalised designs."
