Moschino’s Dry-Cleaning Bag Dress: Fashion or Art?
Runway shows are typically known for their avant-garde and often unusual fashions. Moschino’s design for a dress that looks like a dry-cleaning bag takes this to a whole new level. Complete with a plastic covering and hanger, the dress is certainly attention-grabbing, but it’s hard to imagine it being wearable in any real-life situation. The wire hangar headband and tube sock purse only add to the overall bizarre nature of the outfit. While we appreciate the creativity and artistry that goes into runway shows, this particular look is more likely to be remembered for its comedic value than its fashion-forwardness.
It’s unclear what statement the designer was trying to make with this dress. Perhaps it’s a commentary on the throwaway nature of fast fashion. Or an effort to elevate everyday items to high fashion status. Whatever the intention, the result is a dress that’s unlikely to be worn by anyone outside of a runway show or costume party. While we can appreciate the artistry and creativity of runway fashion, it’s important to remember that the vast majority of what’s shown on the runway is not intended for everyday wear.
