jeremy scott (the creative director behind all of the above lines)... literally loves toys? fashion designers are inspired by things that they love, and jeremy scott loves toys, so to me, calling him a 'fake fan' or implying that he's just doing it to be 'trendy' (again, don't see how this is a bad thing considering lots of mlp fans became fans... because it's trendy... because that's how people find out about things and come to enjoy them...) when he's proven time and time again that these toys bring him joy and that they serve as his muse is a little silly to me.
Moschino have form on this (Barbie, McDonald's)https://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/spring-2015-ready-to-wear/moschino/slideshow/collection#4http://www.vogue.co.uk/shows/autumn-winter-2014-ready-to-wear/moschino/collectionIt's also a bit like the Vetements DHL t-shirt https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2016/apr/19/dhl-t-shirt-vetements-fashion-paris-catwalkPersonally the more I look at their MLP collection the less I like it. There's more than a touch of sneering superiority and mockery of people who genuinely like this stuff and of laughing at people who wear Primark. Like, "look at us we're so witty wearing common people's tacky 80s nostalgia but we like it because it's ugly and kitsch, aren't we clever and superior"Sorry but at these prices this is the only way I can read it. Their "McDonald's server" outfits (and their ridiculous price point) were similarly an insult to people who (have to) work in McDonald's.Does anyone know what I mean?
If these shirts had unique art on them drawn by a fashion designer then I would understand that there is some unique value in them, even if I myself would never spend that much.Like this Transformers "suit" looks gaudy and absurd and I'm sure it cost an arm and a leg, but at least it's DIFFERENT and shows some creativity:visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Still want this purse most of all: https://www.moschino.com/ca/moschino/backpack_cod45375492dk.html#dept=mcpslssmnpnDoes Primark sell anything like that?
Still want this purse most of all: https://www.moschino.com/ca/moschino/backpack_cod45375492dk.html#dept=mcpslssmnpnDoes Primark sell anything like that? I can't afford high fashion but I LOVE LOVE LOVE the art and artists behind it, so believe me I did not post this info to antagonize anyone or to be controversial, I posted it because it's 1) G1 and 2) My Little Pony. Honestly I am surprised at all the negative comments. Spending $1500+ on a Japanese vintage toy, versus buying one of these purses? Same difference. Buying a MIP Rapunzel or buying a Moschino t-shirt? Whatever.
I will never be able to afford any fashion brand nor will I ever pay that much even if I did, BUT I always like looking at runway collections and designer stuff for inspiration, just looking at them is fun to me. I don't think their stuff are meant to mock people, or at least not regular people who aren't rich. Moschino even from the start just by looking at their vintage stuff, has always been about taking 'high fashion' and making it 'fun' Like, old Moschino frequently used Mickey and Minnie Mouse, the Smiley face, and 'quirky' details like spoon+fork decorations. Jeremy Scott the current designer uses cartoons a lot, like that collection with Mcdonalds also had Spongebob in it, https://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/fall-2014-ready-to-wear/moschino#collection and Scott's own brand had collections that used Bart Simpson and Shrek! https://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/fall-2012-menswear/jeremy-scott#collectionhttps://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/spring-2015-ready-to-wear/jeremy-scott#collectionI just wish they used the ponies more in this collection, rather than just printing them on shirts and bags. Like, they could've at least had studded biker jackets with ponies or pony patches on them. That would've been cool.
I would really like to know if anyone actually buys these and what demographics they are selling to. I know that I certainly don't fit it.

Designer clothing is not aimed at the "typical" consumer we would think of and its certainly not aimed at us.The only person I've seen with any of the items so far is the owner of a makeup brand (don't want to name names because essentially everything he does is NSFW and extremely NSF the Arena). He's super rich and very into the "everything is designer in a tacky way" sort of style. I'd be stunned if he actually cared about MLP at all. Its all about that Moschino label.
