Moschino Resort 2023 New York

Creative director Jeremy Scott took a nostalgic view of airline travel for the resort collection.

Jeremy Scott has a romantic view of travel from back in the day and that feeling of nostalgia that informed his men’s resort collection for Moschino. “I was thinking about resort itself,” he said, “and vintage airline travel from the late ’60s and ’70s that felt more glamorous.”

Landing in Zanzibar, Bora Bora and Maui, the collection is an energetic exploration, touching down on gilded faraway shores. The extensive array of graphic looks on offer carry an undeniable air of bohemian adventure.

When it comes to the colours, Scott opted for a go-go palette that boasts flashes of newfangled funk and sun-soakednostalgia. Prepare to indulge in biscuit browns and saffrons, pineapple yellow, indigo and grapefruit tie-dyed denim, alongside mod flamingo pinks, purples and saturated chartreuses. By injecting the dynamic silhouettes with a certified dose of psychedelic panache, no doubt, a sense of liberated hedonism comes embosomed throughout.

To take the fashion pack to the skies, retro styling pervades in the groovy graphics and printwork, juxtaposing multi-fabric geometrics and a motley of effervescent hues – think panelled and patched denim, eccentric trenches and bold board shorts. Elsewhere, a golden geometric upholstery print – inspired by the seats of a seventies Hawaiian Airlines DC-9 on route from Honolulu – weaves its way into expert tailoring. Next stop: floral fresco straight out of a vintage travel poster.

As for the accessories, a plethora of travel bags featuring Moschino’s signature interlocking smiley faces traverse the collection, doubtlessly satisfying your wayfaring wants. Transitioning the mood to something a bit more nocturnal, formalwear decorated with tiny mirror embellishments, star-shaped appliqués and unfurled ribbons, pilot this trip to its final destination.

Lensed by 10 Magazine contributor Clark Franklyn, the accompanying campaign illustrates a psychedelic vision of escapism under the blazing summer sun. All aboard! Let’s harken back to Pan-Am’s timeless glamour and get globe-trotting – just sit back in your Moschino, relax, and enjoy the flight.
