"The stories the world tells us about us are about pain. The stories we tell each other about our own lives are about how Grandma loved us with Bible verses and lemonade, how lineage never defined who our aunts and uncles were, and how the house was always big enough to hold everyone we loved."
The love of all things nostalgic has flooded the runways and Instagram feeds over the past few years. our obsession with the minimalism of the 90s and the vibrant Y2K era - a revival that is a giving, and a revival that keeps on giving - seems to be never-ending, but Jeremy still takes us further into the past. In front of a crowd of eager onlookers and A-listers who braved the rain at Bryant Park, Jeremy presented Moschino's SS22 collection, titled "Ladies Who Lunch".
Gigi Hadid kicked off the show in a matching teal skirt suit and jacket covered in illustrated animal prints. Her earrings were pink rubber ducks, and she wore an oversized plastic chain link necklace that said Moschino in rainbow-colored block letters-you know, the kind of magnets you use to rearrange on your refrigerator door. imaan Hammam also wore a classic high-gloss yellow dress with little animal buttons-just like Pepé Le Pew's skunk clutching a pink flower, a tiger wearing a turquoise bow, and a cow that we believe is about to jump over the moon. Precious wears a banded baby pink trench coat with scalloped edges and embroidered tiger cats and balloons.
While the characters in Moschino's nursery rhymes may well be bears flying kites, poodles wearing flower crowns, happy seals balancing striped beach balls and giraffes pulling wheelbarrows filled with flowers, these playful references are interspersed with classic silhouettes - doll coats, knitted dresses and impeccably tailored separates that pay homage to Franco Moschino's iconic suits. Childhood novelties had their moments - and we can't leave out accessories like the furry "Mary Had a Little Lamb" purse and the stacked wooden block clutch, all carried by women with primitive hair buns.
The show ended with "embroidered animal" dresses: one had a three-dimensional pony with a pink marabou mane; on another, an oversized sleeve turned into a quilted elephant trunk." Ultimately, these were finale ensembles with a knowing, sacred irony of spring," the show notes read." No doubt the 'lunch ladies' were brilliant, but they also sometimes looked at the world through rose-colored (or baby pink) glasses."
