Jeremy Scott’s latest collection for Moschino was FANTASTIC! All those shipping boxes and shopping bags recycled into Couture! What an idea!

The 90’s are back and it’s making me feel so old!! The later parts of the 90’s was part of my heydays and believe it or not, I still have and wear clothes from that era still. So, it will be very easy for me to recreate these looks, but …
