              MOSCHINO: NO STRINGS ATTACHED

              Creative Director Jeremy Scott elegantly transforms what would have been an in-person fashion show into a miniature puppet event, lending Moschino’s Spring / Summer 21 collection a prodigious dimension. 40 looks have been authentically re-proportioned to fit different figures, created by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. This short film transports us to a world that is both extraordinary but so real, from which emanates ineffable satisfaction. Every detail of the patterns, fabric and clothing was preserved and adapted to the figurines for a true presentation of the collection. This puppet show celebrates the virtues of haute couture in its own way.
