If you thought that the well of unique fashion ideas has gone dry, you don't know Jeremy Scott. The creative director of the luxury brand Moschino has come up with a collection that will take your breath away. And it will take you back to the times when you used to play with dolls…
We dare to say that our imagination is working at full speed. Nevertheless, we have one problem with the SS2021 collection. We can't seem to imagine how these luxurious models - a celebration of haute couture - will look on someone taller than thirty centimeters. The paradox is that Moschino left the life-size models hidden in his studio…

Downsize, enlarge, downsize, enlarge…
In preparing the collection, Jeremy Scott actually first created life-size outfits. These were subsequently adapted for minitaures. Each individual piece had to be precisely recalculated to match the size of the puppet, without causing the fabrics to lose any of their authentic properties. So if anyone worked their ass off for this year's Milan Fashion Week, it's definitely Jeremy Scott.
Are you wondering why the designer actually decided to take this step?
"The best thing I could do for everyone who is stressed about the election, the pandemic, social unrest, and the future was to give the gift of fantasy and take us away from all of it for a few minutes; let us enjoy this little fashion world of ours,"
Jeremy Scott explained. He even went ahead and created miniatures of a number of celebrities or leading fashion editors. The uncompromising Anna Wintour couldn't be missing.

Winning combo
The situation in the Czech Republic and beyond clearly indicates that things can escalate quickly. The Czech Fashion Week has been postponed a total of three times and it looks like that the American designer didn't want to leave anything to chance. When it comes to wooden puppets and online presentation, even the coronavirus can't beat this combo!
All that's left to do for us is applaud, show you the outfits our fashion editors can't live without next season, and hope that they'll be just as charming on us as they are on these puppets!

Hell yeah, I can finally play with dolls again!
I mean, the times are rough, I get that. The number of coronavirus infections is rising at the speed of light, there are very few models left and those won't even move a finger if you don't offer them a tremendous sum of money. But do a fashion show with dolls? Some would say it's an original solution, but I am fundamentally against it. I can't take those clothes seriously. I'd need to see it on real people, although I'm not sure if models depict the concept of real people quite relevantly.
In any case, the whole thing looks to me like a collection for Barbie dolls. Yes, the models are gorgeous, but they're gorgeous in the form of miniatures. So yes, I'll take the whole collection, but in those teeny-tiny sizes, so that I could enjoy my own doll fashion show during quarantine in case I get bored out of my mind and and my apartment is already spotless clean and full of the aroma of disinfection. Otherwise, I'll pass...

Isn't it a tad too gold for you? I love gold, but in small quantities. It's more than enough if you have shoes or a handbag or a large enough accessory in this color. But if I were to wear this in the streets, I'm afraid the local scum at Palmovka would strip me naked. Looks like I need to insure not only my health, but also my wardrobe...

Okay buddy, let's decide. Pants, skirt, pants, skirt? Am I going to have a date, or an exhausting ballet lessons? The colors are alright, blue is simply great, but the design leaves much to desire. On the other hand, I have to admit that the fact that ballet skirt is high enough, so it won't be a problem to sit in it, for example in a tram. It doesn't crumble.
21st century mermaid

She may not have a tail, but she looks like something that emerged from the sea, and I believe she should return there. Although the fish might mistake her for some kind of strange poodle, this is how I imagine a 21st century mermaid. I just hope she won't stain her dress wit tomato sauce at the gala dinner...
I don't speak Moschino

I'm sorry, but I'll rather be claiming that I speak Italian, because this year, I definitely don't speak the language of whatever tribe the Moschino fashion house belongs to. Maybe next time.
