Why hang your art pieces when you can wear them?
If we could pick one word to describe last year's most memorable fashion moment, it would have to be campy. The Met Gala 2019 theme was “Camp: Notes on Fashion”, and just a few months later, the King of Camp himself, Jeremy Scott, delivered a collection of wearable art (literally) for Moschino’s spring/summer 2020 runway show.
Paying homage to Pablo Picasso, the abstract nature of the Spanish artist’s work came through in an aesthetic sensibility that’s theatrical, kitschy and of course, campy. Combining high art and pop culture that is synonymous with the Italian house, each look presented models as the canvas and the clothes as art pieces “painted or sculpted” onto them.

Kaia Gerber channelled the Girl With a Mandolin in a larger-than-life structured guitar cocktail dress. Bella Hadid played the Harlequin in a sequin diamond-pattern clown-suit, and then there was Cara Taylor as a living artwork in a gilded frame.
From paintings to sculptures and abstract cubism, Picasso's iconic oeuvre was presented in wearable works of art. We have curated 10 Moschino spring/summer items inspired by five key Picasso artworks for those who choose to not display their art investments on walls but don them in appreciation instead.
