Out of all fashion shows and weeks so far there’s one that’s really stood out to me. Jeremy Scott picked up where the last Moschino collection McDonald’s-red-and-yellow celebration of junk food, left off; Last week’s show was a procession of the eighties excess that’s perhaps most synonymous with its plastic poster girl, an era in which, for some inner circles, looking “fake” was a compliment. They were all there from Let’s Get Physical Barbie, Business Lunch Barbie, Fly Girl Barbie, Poolside Barbie to Bikinied Barbie on roller skates. Being a complete Barbie addict as a kid – blaming my dad for spoiling me with a new Barbie every month from his traveling to USA – no wonder I’m still caught in this fantasy world. Plastic fantastic Baribe and monogrammed logos just feel so right again. After all, Barbie was always the girl having the most fun.
