“Same Old Chic” is the slogan that runs throughout Moschino’s pre-fall collections for women and men, a tongue-in-cheek reference to the brand’s penchant to, well, reference its past iconic moments. A coat with a collar trimmed in teddy bears is worn with a matching Ushanka-style hat made up of more teddy bears, lined in a row; a barcode was blown up and used as the basis for a black and white striped pattern on a button-down cotton shirt, a trench coat, and a skirt.
Ironically, the bulk of the collections are made up of wearable wardrobe building blocks—pieces like a handsome burgundy leather blouson-style jacket, a pair of terrific tan overcoats (single and double breasted), modern tailored suits with a slouchy fit, and herringbone tweeds like a slip dress worn with a long jacket that had a dose of youthful cool. In the classics with a twist category are a khaki trench coat with fringed sleeves and a little black jacket trimmed in pearls—with an added peace sign insignia in the back. Elsewhere, a series of sweatshirts and sweatpants read “You Can’t Be Serious.”
