Roving Reporter : Moschino

Having done the diffusion range, it's now time for the parent company to take centre stage. Moschino presented a gorgeously, delicate and rich in applique collection in palette of navy, red and monochrome tones. Next season is all about those flashes of embellishment, that say 'Yes I have spent money, But I have really bought beautiful things with it'.

No one says this better than the ultra feminine, Italian masters.

There was so much military styling going on, but instead of the usual harshness and restrictiveness of such a style, shapes were soft and voluminous, referencing military detailing such as double buttons. I love this coat that opened the whole show. The rich textured wool looks so expensive and the applique detailing on the sleeve is absolutely stunning!

Red here acts as the WOW factor colour and is a perfect accent to the rest of the palette. Like at Cheap and Chic, Moschino has gone for super girly ruffles. While the overall shape is a simple shift, the detail in the ruffles sides and the beautiful combination of fabrics will make this dress worth every penny.

Moschino do great florals and this season is no exception! I love, love, love this rose print. It reminds me of their adverts with Lily Cole. Navy and red together is one of my fav colour combos. 

A beautiful riding coat. Great detailing, quite a Milanese/Parisian wartime look. Super chic!

This jacket is SO Chanel-esque! Fabulous cropped sleeves, with long gloves (it's going to be everywhere). I do love the velvet, skinny trousers though. Great!!

Military styling, again!

Gorgeous, waisted cuts, fabulous epulates, so embellished and detailed!

A gorgeous collection, full of well cut pieces that transcend time and trend, perfect!

Roving Reporter : Moschino Cheap and Chic

Moschino Cheap and Chic (MCC - as the cool kids call it - they don't it's just the lazy ones actually) is one of my favourite 'diffusion' ranges; mainly because while it is Chic, it is anything but Cheap!

This super girly label presented a gorgeous collection of flirty dresses, cocoon coats, frills and sleek tailoring.

There was plenty of flashes of hot pink, no more beautiful than this sleek shift, detailed in ruffles. Super feminine and doll like, I adore this slightly disheveled, undone belt thing going on. So random, but kind of cool!

Bronzed, metallic black, great alternative to the LBD, floor length ruffles, perfect, party wear! 

Great detailing is key to draw clients in for the coming seasons. This fab little black jacket with asymmetric ruffle detailing. Ruffles were obviously the key to the collection, as beautiful sheer (to the point of obscene) blouses had delicately ruffled cuffs.

Check out the gold, calf skimming trousers, again note the front, fold, detailing.

  
Mickey Mouse ears are naturally the most sophisticated thing to be wearing next season, but until we can pluck up the courage, I think I'll be championing these beautiful blouses instead (with a cami underneath obviously).

Cocoon coats have been super popular in A/W collections, in all the fashion cities, so this definitely is a trend to buy into. I love this jeweled yellow one, with lovely collar detail. Break it up with a wide, patent, black belt!

There have been tones of prints at LFW, this very much reminds me of the Tempest prints. Part paint splash, part cosmic explosion (read: futurism), part tribal feel. Love it based on black though, very grown up and delicate. Skirt suit again, showing that its time to relegate the trousers, and bring back the pencil skirt. Do note the bulky jacket with a waist belt.

It is such a girly collection and in fact a feminine friendly label. So I love this bow front dress. A slight twist on some Parisian Couture shown at Stephane Rolland! Lush!
