When the final model walked down the Moschino runway in Milan Fashion Week 2017 the only thing that was left on the audience’s faces was a shocked expression with jaws dropped to the floor. Brand’s creative director Jeremy Scott created a provoking collection, as always, that was made up of extraordinary materials such as cardboard, Kleenex boxes, packing tape, toilet paper and garbage bags. This unconventional use of materials was not only to draw media’s attention; Scott had a message. The collection received many negative backlashes as anyone can imagine.
