Moschino used little marionettes, and they made this promotional video with their creative director Jeremy Scott.

And all of these miniature collections were completely intricate and intact and complete as any full-size clothing collection.

Did any of them reach out to Mary Hill?

No.

Apparently Jeremy Scott of Machino wanted to come by the museum, but that fell through.

But it's not like they're giving you any of the clothes.

Yeah, I think it's a great idea.

While the use of these miniatures in fashion houses might have brought in a few visitors,

That wasn't where the real impact came.

The New Look, the show on Apple TV Plus about the house of Dior.

Which is taking a few creative liberties because when the Teatro de la Mode was created, Dior didn't have his own house yet.

He was working for the designer Lucien Lalonde.

So maybe he worked on one of these mannequins, but we're not 100% sure.

It's not in his name.

It makes sense why this was a pandemic thing.

But do you think that this is going to, like, revive the practice of miniatures?

Do you see a future for it?

The designer Orlando Dugai, spelled D-U-G-A-I.
