Moschino

Moschino's fresh, new approach provided light relief. It sent up high glamour and sophistication of fellow designers and made fun of their high prices. He was zany, iconoclastic and always ready to shock with an outrageous idea, but his clothes were wearable and cut to the highest standards. He was an expert tailor and liked to make visual puns. He created a dinner suit with a knife and fork appliqu�d on the bodice, his blazers had windmills for buttons. His polka dot Minnie Mouse dresses were very popular.
The Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, held an exhibition called "Fashion - Italian Style" from February to April 2003. Franco Moschino was brilliantly represented by his surrealistic bra dress and a skirt entirely composed of bio-degradable grocery bags. Chanel once sued him for spoofing a perfume on a T-shirt.
