1 9 3 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I MOSCHINO UOMO AUTUMN/WINTER 2014/2015 COLLECTION F rom the playful and colourful new themes of fast food and Sponge Bob, to revisiting iconographic motifs that have always identified the brand, the Moschino Uomo collection for the winter season presents a highly versatile wardrobe, where both tailored and sporty lines are highlighted by multicolour graphics and ironic accents. For example, distinct leopard-print pieces range from the classic suit to the city coat in animal-print wool, to the college-style bomber jacket made of a combination of velvet and washed nappa leather. Meanwhile, the ethereal clouds in the Moschino sky print lend a hyper-contemporary touch to the day & night suit and the sporty nylon bomber jacket. An unmistakable gold touch brightens metallic nappa leather garments, such as the biker pants to be worn under a maxi t-shirt stamped with the brand's guarantee of authenticity, and the leather biker-style jacket. The iconic cow print creates an effect of black & white patches on both clothing and accessories. Standouts among these are the cow-print t-shirt with lamé lettering paired with relaxed trousers, a striking sharply cut suit, and ankle boots with ‘Moschino’ in gold-plated metallic lettering. The casualwear featuring pop culture references strikes a cheeky balance between ironic and affectionate. A football-style scarf in ketchup red, with mustard-yellow drive-through signs, is a clever interpretation of McDonald’s unmistakable iconography, while the smiling face of the cartoon character SpongeBob is a pleasingly jarring sight to behold on the streetwear-inspired top. Finally, along with tone-on-tone logo embroidery and fur trim on jacket collars, there are outfits with high graphic and visual impact displaying the outsized letters of ‘Moschino’ in colour, containing within them images inspired by urban life and nature. These include a graphically eye-catching tailored suit, oversized t-shirts, and tracksuit- inspired trousers. Bold, edgy, and graphic, Moschino maintains its signature boisterous flair and street-wise attitude.
