Los Angeles-based designer Jeremy Scott, who was appointed creative director
at Italian luxury brand Moschino in October, gave buyers and the media a taste
of what's to come with his pre-fall collection lookbook, which went out this
week.
And judging from the photos, it looks like he's off to a good start.
Scott has mixed classic Moschino design codes (biker jackets, ladylike suits,
quilted leather and chain trim) with his own sporty, 1980s-era streetwear
touches. I like the backpack made to look like a biker jacket and the blingy
logo baseball caps, the varsity-jacket-styled ladylike skirt suit and the tromp
l'oeil slip-meets-shirt dress.
Moschino is lucky that Scott already has a built-in fan base. With his own
namesake label and his work for Adidas Originals, Scott has dressed every pop
star in the universe, including Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus.
I'm betting we could see a red carpet debut for the Jeremy Scott for Moschino
collection on Jan. 26 at the Grammys.
Scott will present his first Moschino runway collection next month during
Milan Fashion Week.
Happy 2014, everybody! What's on your New Year's resolutions list this this
time around? Health, happiness, getting into better financial shape? Yup, me
too.
Also on my list? A fresh new outlook on dressing. I've been in a
dress-tights-boots phase for, well, OK, forever (I don't even think I'm allowed
to call it a "phase" anymore)—so come 2014, I'm hoping to shake things up a bit
with new perspective as well as style tips culled from the closets of some of my
favorite celebrities.
Check out five of my celeb-inspired New Year's fashion resolutions. Wish me
luck!
1. I resolve to take a different angle on head-to-toe black a la Miranda
Kerr.
OK, I've worn head-to-toe black pretty much ever since I was 13-years-old.
And no matter how much you style it up—tailored Belgian tuxedo jackets, draped
Rick Owens cardis, skinny retro high-waisted jeans from Levi's—the fact is, I've
always worn all-black as a way of streamlining my getting-ready regimen and as
an easy way tonot get noticed. But what if I took a tip from Miranda Kerr's
playbook and dressed in all black—to get noticed? Hm. Now there's a thought.
2. I resolve to think pink—or at least try to incorporate pink back into my
wardrobe this spring, likeOlivia Palermo.
When I was a teenager, I'd conservatively estimate that about 75 percent of
my wardrobe was fuchsia—i.e. hot pink. It was the early-'90s, you guys. And I
don't think I've intentionally bought and worn pink since—after that
semi-scarring decade. But this spring, bold pink is back in fashion—and I think
I'm ready to take the plunge again. Good news is that there was a reason I liked
pink as a 14-year-old—find the right shade and wearing pink makes your
complexion glow.
3. I resolve to buy investment pieces—and wear them over and over again, just
like Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton.
Every year, I vow to spend less on fast, throwaway, trendy fashion—and more
on good, long-lasting pieces that I can build my wardrobe around year after
year. But besides a heaping of black cashmere sweaters, tailored dresses, and a
closetful of sharply tailored jackets and coats, I'd never thought it possible
to find pretty and timeless investment pieces. I'll look harder this year,
because if Kate Middleton can wear the same dress two years in a row, gosh darn
it, so can I.
4. I resolve to dress down, the Cara Delevingne way.
What's so great about Cara Delevingne's style is that it's playful, unique,
totally fun and colorful—and also exists somewhere between dressed-up and
totally dialed-down. A look like this one here can take you from, say, a day at
a theme park (OK, different shoes for the theme park) to dinner at a trendy
restaurant. Because it's so fierce.
5. I resolve to strive for Beyonce-levels of style chameleon.
Beyonce Beyonce Beyonce. She's a mom, she's a wife, she's a superstar who
unleashed a surprise album on the world complete with 17 music videos—and she
looks totally, completely, wildly different in every single one. I bow down to
your chameleon highness, Queen Bey. Next year, I'm resolving to play around more
with my own style.
