Moschino Cheap And Chic

NEW YORK, December 19, 2011

The typical Moschino Cheap And Chic girl is still in her salad days, and therefore has license to experiment fearlessly with her personal style. Pre-fall offered a range of trends for her to pick and choose from. She could be a plaid-clad punk one day and a lass who lunches the next. While the collection was admittedly all over the place, mixing up tartan kilts with pictures of polar bears and eyelet lace, there were a few looks (mostly in the outerwear category) that were distinctly Cheap And Chic, and indeed quite chic. A cool topper lined in leather with big pearly buttons was a standout, as were the riffs on the label's classic tweed jacket. Designer Rossella Jardini screen-printed a bouclé pattern onto crepe, and then spattered it with streaks of bright paint for a trompe l'oeil effect. A similar coat gave the illusion of having Paddington-like toggle closures. These three pieces were reportedly the clear victors at sales appointments—a rare instance of store buyers seeing completely eye to eye with fashion editors.
