GOD SAVE THE JEAN

Marie Antoinette would have worn embellished denim if Moschino creative director Jeremy Scott had his way. Inspired by the French Revolution, Scott brought the 1780s into the modern day with a Fall/ Winter 20-21 collection loaded with gold bullion embroidery, corsetry and denim frock coats. While pannier mini-dresses are unlikely to go mainstream in this era of comfort and gender equality, the novelty of Scott’s vision was a gentle reminder of what’s missing in the denim sector: a sense of surprise. —Angela Velasquez
