Moschino 40 years on the scene
Celebrating 40 years in business, Moschino's show for the spring/summer 2024 season transcended catwalk standards; instead, it was a multi-act play comprised of Carleen Cerf de Dujzeele, Gabriella Carefa-Johnson, Lucia Liu and Katie Grand.
Overall, the collection was inspired by Franco Moschino's favourite silhouettes from the 80s and 90s.
Act I begins to the sounds of age-old music. White double-breasted suits met grey pleated trousers and black collars, while little heart-shaped purses added a subtle touch of playfulness. The silhouettes were mostly minimalistic, but were paired with regal necklaces and earrings, striking the fine balance between elegance and opulence.
Karefa-Johnson's creations followed, setting up the second act. "I relied a lot on recreating and changing styles from the early '90s shows to update the silhouette and craftsmanship, but I still wanted that energy to come through," she says. "Let's call it NOWstalgia!" The resulting capsule reimagined Franco's classic cowboy hats, jewelry and crochet dresses for the modern woman; and with Beyonce's "PURE/HONEY" in the background, KJ's quirky energy permeated the room.
In the third act, Liu stepped into the spotlight with a romantic line that embraced a novel concept to create new motifs inspired by Franco's famous "Protect Me from Fashion System" t-shirt. The result was ethereal, with an abundance of gold, heart-shaped accessories and floral embroidery planted on fluffy, edgy and delicate silhouettes.
Grand has prepared a lineup for the fourth act. "The use of slogans [by Franco] was very appealing and the idea for LOUD LUXURY came to me quite quickly," she says. "It seemed topical to me." Several bodysuits had massive question marks and exclamation points; others boldly outlined the human form in black and white, and a number of figures made their opinions clear with colossal letters that read "LOUD LUXURY!"
