MOSCHINO'S COLLABORATION WITH BARBIE
March 01, 2016
This collection was a marketing and creative directors
dream. Complete collaboration genius! Yes it is garish, tacky and it’s not
going to appeal to everyone, but no one can deny the enormous buzz it generated
globally both online and offline. Press and invitee’s at the Milan Fashion Show
were granted access to share the collection instantly on all social platforms
and this created the first wave of the buzz. Images and news on the show toured
the interest across the world and had everyone talking about this eccentric
collection. The second wave was generated by the celebrity pop culture
‘selfies’. High profile celebs such as Paris Hilton, Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus
all seen wearing the collection or posing with their limited edition Moschino
Barbie Doll, this generated huge media coverage for the brand.
Moschino has built a reputation for being bold, ‘out-there’
and quirky, so when Jeremy Scott’ joined in 2013, his influence echoed both
Moschino’s and his own personality through this collection. It’s fun, joyful,
and rebellious and has subsequently cemented his position as the reigning
fashion rebel in the industry. He has dramatically increased sales for Moschino
as well as pioneering new ways fashion is consumed, like the shop from the
catwalk innovation where attendee’s of the fashion show can purchase select
pieces from the collection immediately (Vogue, 2015).
