Report: Backstage Moschino SS 2014
LIZA KOLOGREEVA
Our fashion editor went to Milan to attend shows and a trade show. Today she tells what happened on the backstage of the Moschino jubilee show.
This year, Moschino is celebrating its 30th anniversary, so there was a great show. Backstage occupies two buildings at once on Via Maiocchi: in the first one they paint - and behind a large transparent wall, in which onlookers crowd, - and across the road there is a room with clothes and the actual space of the show. Models run back and forth, so the normal movement on the street should be forgotten. They do not come out in clothes, but later it becomes clear that the collection is dedicated to the legacy of Franco Moschino. The creative director of the brand Rosell Jardini repeats the most famous models from his old collections and adds a couple of new ones.
The show is arranged in the evening, and they start to start journalists on the backstep an hour before the intended start of the defile. From the entrance you understand what hell is: the room is so hot that you can only wonder how everyone is on their feet. This is confirmed by the company of hairdressers and makeup artists, who fervently shouts: "This is the most hell of a bash for the whole week!" Models rehearse defiles, so hairdressers and makeup artists fix each other. Some girls return from rehearsals, and make-up artists hug them with exclamations "Are you a good girl?" or "Are you a bad girl?". This is about the inspiration of the main makeup artist of this show and the head of the guys from M.A.C. Cosmetics by Tom Pesho. "The images are inspired by the contrast between good and bad girls," he concludes coquettishly. This means that half of the fashion models have a completely natural make-up with a very slight blush, and the other half have red-black arrows and scarlet lips.
It turns out that 70 models participate in the show, and only producers know how to control each of them. Begin to crawl rumors that a celebrity will come out on the podium, for which they have made a separate dressing room. Among those present at the backstage, at least two famous women could be seen. Pat Cleveland is sitting in the corner - an American of 60 years old who appeared on the covers of Vogue and Vanity Fair and worked with Mugler and Lagerfeld. At least three hairdressers are wigging a wig for her, and this time she smiles sweetly at every photographer - unlike the model Erin O'Connor, who shrugs off each camera. Next to Tom Pesho, Giselle Zeloe, a 40-year-old Australian with Richard Avedon photos in his portfolio, is painted. Watch a video from the Moschino show: Pat and Giselle have a lot to learn.
