Moschino
Designer: Rossella Jardini

• “Moschino presented an ironic twist on the Nutcracker soldier to kick off the third day of Milan fashion week on Friday, with a parade of colourful military-style outfits, jazzed up for party girls.” [AFP]
• “Britpop-meets-Scot-schlock.” [The Daily Telegraph]
• “The mini and at times, box-like silhouettes echoed the luxury teenage power dressing of the 90s. Shut up! We’re, like, so talking the wardrobe of (now classic) movie ‘Clueless.’” [Dazed Digital]
• “It was wittily titled ‘M-Shire: Tales of the Moschinoshire,’ and riffed on tartan to the beat of 1990s Britpop.” [ELLEuk.com]
• “Another collection of fun fashion and colour conviction.” [i-D Online]
• “Moschino did its best not to turn Scotland the Brave into Scotland the Bore. It is difficult when the Highlands have been mined so often for inspiration to get anything new out of plaid. But with taut jackets, perky pleated skirts and jaunty military helmets, the collection seemed upbeat and fun.” [International Herald Tribune]
• “Leave it to Moschino’s designer Rossella Jardini to attempt to blend horseback riding, skiwear, traditional Scottish dress, men’s suiting and Western attire. Only a house known for its fun fashion attitude and ironic take on style could risk such a zany idea.” [NOWFASHION]
• “For all the tartan, kilts, and handbags worn like sporrans in Moschino’s Fall 2013 collection, Rossella Jardini could have moved her show from Milan to Edinburgh.” [POPSUGAR Fashion]
• “The only subversion came in the chunky Dalston Market-esque gold jewellery and couple of punkier looks–see the heavily embellished skirt suits and fringed cowgirl jackets – clearly thrown in for the bad girls at the back of the class.” [SHOWstudio]
• “A totally peculiar Highland fling, with incongruous injections of Annie Oakley and Japanese school uniforms.” [Style.com]
• “The Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute’s exhibit on punk will feature some of the counterculture-inspired looks that first put Moschino on the map—including subversive show pieces like a 1950s couture-style dress made entirely from garbage bags … [but] a more traditional spin on tartan was on the agenda for fall.” [Vogue.com]
• “There were a couple of Jardini’s punk girls who had obviously escaped from her Cheap & Chic collection in London.” [Vogue.com UK]
• “Hold the prosecco. Italian designers are demonstrating a taste for whiskey this season, with Rossella Jardini the latest to embrace all things Scottish.” [WWD]
