敬请期待中文版  Picture credit: Indigital AS A GIANT CHANDELIER dress swayed down a runway smothered with Persian rugs, tinkling past the broken furniture recalling the 15th-century, Puritan "Bonfire of the Vanities", the Moschino model paused under an archway - the better to show off the crystal creation. This funky parody of high fashion had thousands of hits on my Instagram when I last looked. Whether this success was due to my shaky photographic skills or to designer Jeremy Scott is a good question, because he has such a cult following.

Burnt patches were the new decorative motif for crinolines almost as wide as the chandelier. The smoke came from machines inserted under the clothes. As Jeremy put it: "Apocalypse WOW!"  Picture credit: Indigital It all sounds like stage-set nonsense. Yet this was a new departure for Jeremy, who has previously focused on subjects such as last season's car wash, where every piece had some reference to street signs and produced road rage for its chaotic management. This show was quite different: fewer fans screaming outside and a more sophisticated set. It even had some serious tailoring, as long as you don't mind your shapely grey coat decorated with giant cigarette burns.

And that was the story from this joker who has made a fashion career out of being at least 50 per cent serious about his work. On the flip side, this season featured a handbag shaped like a packet of cigarettes. Instead of the usual warning it had one phrase: "Fashion Kills". Bitter sweet. (责任编辑：admin) |
