“Before too long, this face-to-face conversation is going to feel awkward", Jeremy Scott explained about his collection on Facebook live. ”Meaning we’re getting awfully used to seeing the world in 2-D. " In reviewing what Vogue called Scott's "cleverest Moschino show yet" Nicole Phelps shared the history and heritage of paper dolls:

Paper dolls, for those of you who grew up digital, are heavy stock paper figures with separate clothes also made out of paper. As Scott alluded to in his press notes, they predate Barbie, an early reference of his at Moschino, by 150 years, give or take. The trompe l’oeil technique he employed to render three-dimensional clothes flat also has a long history. The Italian label Roberta di Camerino was doing it back in the 1950s and ‘60s, and earlier this season Thom Browne took up the idea himself, transforming his quirky tailoring into flat zip-in-and-go dresses. By our reckoning, Scott might be the first designer to extend the metaphor and add the white folding tabs. We didn’t get a chance to ask if they’ll make it all the way onto the selling floor, but Moschino fans are so intense (there is no tougher door in Milan—gripe, gripe), it wouldn’t surprise us if they did. Ditto the kitschy bodysuits and evening dresses that produced the illusion of deep cleavage and/or six-pack abs.
