Moschino & The Rococo Frame

Moschino & The Rococo Frame

The aim in the fashion industry is to produce the best designs of the season and present them in an even wilder way than they had done before, and with Moschino that was taken literally, as models were sent down the runway in scorched dresses, rapped around wire, in chandeliers and looking like they had just be put out with smoke rising from them.  

Moschino's head designer Jeremy Scott is a famous for having a theme and that was clear from the outset of his AW16 collection.

"The set for his runway collection was made up of ashen bars and blackened pianos as eager famous faces such as Charli XCX made themselves comfortable in ageing silk chairs."

Unlike your average runway, models marched to the beat of their own drum as they twirled down the runway in what can only be described as pure theatre. This is what made me think yes! Perfect for my idea and how can I combine Moschinos raw presentation with my own?

In one of the shots, one model posed in the frame of a mirror in a ravaged gown that was still smoking as she appeared to leap at the heat of her own dress! The outfit was easily the designer's showstopper, flaunting an asymmetrical hem and blackened scorch marks, and was paired with long black gloves, this made me think, how could I combine the fashion with my own, the silks, the gold and red dresses made me think my night editorial shoot clothing could mimic these designs, just not burnt...

In another amazing moment is when one model appeared on the runway encased inside a giant crystal chandelier! This made my jaw drop!

So I tried to create a look that best fits my own designs and came up with the images below, I found a frame and edited it on photoshoot to have my image underneath. I then applied on top of my image so cracked paint (seen in the bottom image) to have that old classic feel. I do like them but don't think I will have this as my final image. But great inspiration still!

Overall, I do really like the image I created above but again I don't think it would work as a final peice but none the less I do love the frame idea!
