Prepare for a polka dot extravaganza with Moschino’s Resort 2021 collection: bold, uplifting, and incredibly lively as always. Creative Director Jeremy Scott unfolds a collection that paves the way to the next holiday season and it’s looking full of light-hearted spirit.
In 2013 when Jeremy Scott was appointed Creative Director of Moschino, he told Vogue how “[his] main [vision] is about bringing the brand into the now, into the future”, and the Resort 2021 collection captures this perfectly. Scott shares with Vogue how “this time is about finding my way around all the different obstacles, finding creativity and positivity, and trying to keep upbeat about it”. Despite having already started a collection, the plans were changed to adapt to the current circumstances, and what a great turnaround this was. Needed now more than ever, the collection is filled with playful prints and electric colour, and we cannot help but smile.
Head to toe polka dot (yes, even polka heels!) are paired with gold-hoop Moschino earrings to create a statement look. There are flirty minis, classy midis plus, figure-flattering suits, and jackets; we simply love how play meets sophistication. A cute polka dot bag completes the ensemble. Our favourite resembles that familiar biker jacket that we all know and remember. Just big enough for your everyday essentials there is no doubt this bag will be the best friend you take everywhere, on holiday or at home. We suspect this must be a favourite at Moschino too with a print of this bag featuring across several pieces.
Based in Milan, the Italian Flag is an important theme woven throughout the collection. Other symbolic references include; hearts, smiley faces, peace signs and florals. Through a shared love of fashion, Moschino unites the world with a collection that speaks every language, and the iconic T-shirt which states “I don’t speak Italian, but I do speak Moschino” highlights this perfectly. A sketch of this T-shirt was shared on the Brand’s Instagram page in April with the caption “creativity brings us all together” something I am sure we can all agree with.
Even if you are not currently planning that longed-for trip away, I am sure we can all appreciate the optimism that Moschino have infused into the Resort 2021 collection. If you are staying at home, perhaps one of these pieces can be saved for that trip you may have postponed. Besides, when will polka dots and a dash of positivity ever go out of fashion?
From Voir to Moschino in true Italian style, Bravo!
