Moschino Cheap & Chic Fall 2012

With the words Smile, Eat, Kiss, Laugh, Talk, and Drink emblazoned on its back, a three quarter length top was among the frothy pieces that made their way down the Moschino Cheap & Chic Fall 2012 runway and it was an apt reflection of this season’s collection.

Most of the looks were decidedly 60s mod with peplum finished coats, collared dresses completely covered in paillettes, and oversized bows, which were shown alongside a variety of rusty colored knits, including knit dresses.

Rossella Jardini worked in pearls and quirky prints for the girly, candy-colored collection (Moschino’s signature embellishments). As to why she opted to show this season's line-up in London despite the brand's longstanding Italian heritage, Jardini told Vogue.com, “I love the Queen and wanted to congratulate her for the Jubilee. And London is such a beautiful city and then of course there's the link with Cheap & Chic and its British sense of humour.“
