Fresh From The Production Line: Kartell and Moschino

Available from the end of last month, cutesy Italian fashion house supreme, Moschino have teamed up with Italian furniture design connoisseurs Kartell to bring the world at large, the Bow Wow ballet flat. Reminiscent of old-school jelly sandals, the aptly named and brightly coloured, Bow Wow is made using a 100% recyclable and non-toxic thermoplastic, meaning you can have a clean sartorial conscience – and carbon footprint - this spring. Adorned with the trademark Moschino bow and available in a plethora of colours, there is a woven plastic delight for every eventuality. Priced around £70, never has Moschino been so accessible!

AW10 Press Days: Part Eight

Last week I attended well over 30 press days in three days, and whilst tiring I have to admit that I loved every minute of it. Kicking off the first day with a bang was the Moschino press day held just above the beautiful Conduit Street store, hidden away behind a chic red door.

For me the AW10 Moschino mainline and Cheap and Chic collections had many highlights and key pieces, with the fringed leather jacket (above) being a firm favourite.

I love it when you realise that your preconceived notions of what constitutes good and bad colour palettes for example, are totally wrong, which happened when I loved how they had tastefully worked lots of gold into a predominantly black collection.

I really aprreciated the subtle nods to Chanel present in the use of pearls, tweed mixes and heavy deatailing. I also like the gold chain print on black which reminded me very much of the likes of Lanvin and Celine. Whilst certain pieces in particular clearly reminded me of pieces by other designers, I quite liked this as it added a playful feel, and I don't think there's anything wrong with channelling something as long as you either do it better or put your own spin on it - which Moschino certainly did.
