Lights, camera, subway!

Moschino’s Creative Director Jeremy Scott has done it again. For the Italian fashion house’s pre-fall 2020 collection, Scott took the crowd underground at the New York Transit Museum in Brooklyn. Attendees, equipped with their oversized Metrocard invitations, were treated to champagne and specialty Ciroc cocktails while they waited for the “train” to arrive. They were then ushered further underground to the section of the museum where subway cars from years past (we’re talking cars from the 1920s, wicker seats and all) are displayed. Once everyone matched their invitation number to the corresponding number of their subway car (a brilliant touch), the show began.

90s hip-hop music suddenly filled the subway platform, with attendees (now essentially straphangers) eagerly looking around for what was to come. Suddenly, the models appeared, strutting through one subway car and then zig-zagging to the other side. Right out of the gate, guests knew they were in for QUITE a show. Jeremy Scott simply wouldn’t have it any other way.

The show’s looks started off decidedly street-style-esque, which more than made sense, given the show’s atmosphere. Oversized puffer jackets, loads of camouflage, and chunky boots all gave off a distinctly tough street vibe. Interspersed throughout the show, however, was a markedly different aesthetic. Guests were also treated to 1950s-style tweed jackets and dresses, which some might say felt out of place. However, the idea here was that on the subway (and with street style in general), one could see a straphanger wearing any of these looks, from past to present. Hardcore leather looks soon followed, with detailing only a true leather fan such as Scott could master. Closing out the show were beaded gowns (paired with leather accents of course; it was a street theme after all) that we are sure to see on upcoming red carpets. The show closed with Jeremy Scott making his own way through the subway cars, along with his own troupe of hip-hop dancers.

Moschino’s Jeremy Scott has always been known for putting on a show. The struggle sometimes has been the wearability of what’s IN the show. This time around, Scott’s pre-fall 2020 collection managed to be completely wearable, while still being showcased in one of his best shows in recent memory. The subway setting, the music, and the fashion all came together in a perfect marriage that left the attendees wanting nothing but more.

And that, ladies and gents, is how you put on a show.
