Supermodel Gigi Hadid\u2019s much-buzzed return to the runway included opening and closing Moschino\u2019s SS \u201922 collection, which was a riot of technicolor baby bits m\u00e9langed with classic lady silhouettes. Who better than a new mother\u2014Hadid\u2019s daughter Khai was born a year ago\u2014to viscerally understand that baby fever can shift from flights of fancy to total delirium in the blink of a sleepless night?<\/p>\n

Under a drizzly sky in Bryant Park, celebs like Megan Fox, Annita, and Diplo waited patiently beneath open umbrellas for the live-streamed show to start (40 minutes late, ay!) At least they had the Moschino logo on a floral topiary to look at while supermodels Irina Shayk, Precious Lee, Winnie Harlow and Soo Joo Park got Baby Lady-fied.<\/p>\n

Creative director Jeremy Scott fully referenced progenitor Franco Moschino\u2019s mockery of all things staid\u2014Dior\u2019s New Look, Chanel\u2019s quilted suits\u2014and tossed a goo-goo grenade on it. Broad riffs on the Care Bears, My Little Pony and nostalgic nursery rhymes showed up on achingly feminine sheaths, shirt dresses, and two-piece suits with nipped-in waists and Peter Pan collars.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rather than ladies who lunch, this collection should appeal to the ladies who \u2018shroom, but Scott\u2019s gifted at giving psychedelia an haute and humorous touch.<\/p>\n

Accessories have always been Moschino\u2019s gateway drug and this season is no exception: bangles look like teething rings, multi-colored diaper pins dangle from plastic chain-link belts, and purses resemble toddler toys. Expect waiting lists for this kind of kitsch.<\/p>\n

Evening wear was where Scott went all in with marabou trim and quilted cartoon animals in large format, some of them creeping into 3-D: a long-necked giraffe\u2019s head curving over the shoulder; a cheeky elephant\u2019s ear and trunk forming the sleeve of Hadid\u2019s closing look.<\/p>\n

By the time model Taylor Hill appeared with a crib mobile on her head, Scott\u2019s baby vision was exceedingly clear. Rather than reducing women\u2019s desires\u2014for fashion, for children, for sex and the season\u2019s It bag\u2014into a little girl\u2019s phantasmagoria, Scott\u2019s collection thumbs its nose at the unceasing infantilization of women. As women\u2019s rights and bodies remain a political battleground, Scott seems to be saying, \u201cYou sure it’s babies you want\u2014and not women?”<\/p>\n

Perhaps Scott\u2019s admiration for feminine power is best exemplified by trans wheelchair model, Aaron Philip, who starred in a Moschino ad last year, modeled Look 25 in this collection, and accompanied Scott as he took his bows at the end of the show. Without a doubt, this is a designer and a brand that loves and respects all<\/em> women.<\/p>\n
