This evening i was lucky enough to be working back stage at Moschino Cheap and Chic show in. The show was held in a dilapidated fashionable building in Central London.
After much hanging around, herding models to the right place and helping myself to the free sandwiches I got a good look at the new collection.
My first impression was that is was classic Moschino, fun, quirky but not something i would necessarily wear. However as the models tried on the outfits and everything came together I fell in love with each look Moschino had created, elegant with a edge and not taking themselves too seriously.
The vibe was 60’s 70’s with bold prints, pineapple shaped bags with matching pineapple earring. Super flares matched with heavy coloured wedges and mini dresses matched with trainers.
The colour pallet worked perfectly and the prints harmonised together to create something truly exiting to look at.
My favourite pieces which (if i save up for long enough) will be in my wardrobe will be the platform wedges which came in orange, black, green and purple. Me and the other dressers decided these were “sensible shoes” what with being wedges and therefore worth the purchase! A great clutch caught my eye which had the appearance of being a notebook.
The star of the show was the Creative Director Rossella Jardini who looked show stopping elegant and sophisticated back stage, chatting to the press, posing with a cigarette in her mouth and generally being fabulous.
The show was very well received and after our dressers duties were performed we got to try some of the delicious cocktails on offer at the after party and keep an eye our for celebrities such as Kerry Brook and Pixie Lott who were mingling about.
Overall Moschino Cheap and Chic had a laid back atmosphere, everyone was friendly and had a great time and the show was undoubtedly a success. Looking forward to when the collections hit the shops!!!

Like every actor out there, I have a stack of books sitting on a shelf gathering dust becoming more and more irrelevant by the minute. There are some good informative books, but they’re becoming the exception rather than the norm. Sometimes I look at my stack of irrelevant books and resent them for costing me (taunting me with their perfect spines) especially as there is so much fantastic advice and information out there on the internet. Here’s a few below, these are just the ones I subscribe to so there may be tons more. Let me know if you find any.
