Moschino's Perfect Spring Day

“Fashion is full of chic” was among the slogans spray-painted on big canvas totes at Cheap and Chic, a sure sign that Rossella Jardini’s second line is in touch with its funny bone — and keen sense of irony.

Through a heart-shaped portal, in fact, came plenty of chic, with a distinct Spanish accent: cha-cha dresses in daisy-print jersey cultivated into rich rows of ruffles, or a simple black widow’s gown perked up by eyelet lace, puffy shoulders and slippers blooming with fuchsia carnations.


Keeping with the youthquake theme, hemlines were either ultrashort or grazed the models' satin flats. And the other accessories were just as cheeky. In addition to the aforementioned tote, there was a bag in hot pink with "Shocking" scribbled across it, and a nameplate necklace to match.

When it comes to having escapism on the brain, Jardini has plenty of company so far this young fashion week in Milan. The collection is all looked cute, young and fun — just shy of silly.
