Looks like The Transformers are going high fashion! This week Moschino held their combined Fall menswear and Pre-Fall womenswear fashion show in Milan. A key part of their show were clothes featuring classic Transformers Generation 1 box art turned into prints and then worked into their designs. It’s something I never thought I’d see but it’s a sight to behold none the less. Whether these will be remixed and worked into more standard fare that us regular folk could actually pull off is unknown, but here’s hoping. Read on to check out a selection of pictures from their website and Instagram plus a video of the event after the break, and hit the links to view them in full!

These models do not look malnourished. The men are lean and athletic and the women are healthy looking with minimal make up. That's what you look like when you maintain yourself and have amazing cheekbones.
The rest of you are all certainly entitled to your opinions. You see awful and garish clothes. Personally I feel the pieces are fun, and they compliment the flashy patent boots. I think they look fabulous- modern cuts, quality materials, and with a touch of 80s charm.
If given the choice between pieces from this collection, and whatever screen print logo t-shirt you probably picked up at Wal-Mart for $15- I'd take these.

Thanks for posting this info.

No.
Moschino have done Transformers a huge favour with this. This x the Bape collaboration is making Transformers something of a cool thing to be associated with to the more casual audience.

Moschino is a big fashion house like Versace, Prada, Gucci etc… Even B.I.G rapped about it back in the day "My Moskino ho' my versachee hauttie" Heres a version of the song fans here can relate more to
No she's a model from england. her instagram is @ _dilone
Not your typical model but she seems to be building a big name for herself.

If they made a jacket like this, but with the box art print instead of the floral, I'd buy it

I love me G1 box art as much as the next guy but nooooo just noooooooo.

I kinda dig some of the silver boots. The gloves not so much, but the boots work pretty well with the overall colour palette.

The green suit with the numbers on it reminds me of The Riddler for some reason.

I liked the fact that they used classic 80s G1 art on the clothes. But that's it.
I do not think this will attract any serious fashionista interest.

Because they are runway models and there is a good chance they have an eating disorder.

I never so desperately have wished to be a trans(former)vestite.

Exactly what i thought.

It's funny that a lot of the people commenting have about as much of an idea about what runway fashion is as the models who are wearing those garments know what Generation One Transformer Toys are.
Highly Ironic.
Experts at one thing. Know nothing about the other…..

Because your childhood needed some more killing.
Neat, but really?

"Hey, nice Transformers shirt."
"What's Transformers?"

Is #009 a guy in a dress? Seriously asking because I can't tell. I thought maybe it was a girl seen in a later photo, just a bad shot of her maybe. But it looks like a guy.
Nemesis Scar
Interesting aesthetic idea behind it, but overly gaudy for my tastes.

…yeah, I'll just stick with graphic t-shirts. They don't look like a convoluted mess of random colors.
Seriously, who looks at those and thinks they looks good?
