|
Moschino was an italian french designer, before becoming a fashion designer, he attended Accademia delle Belle Arti in Milan to study fine arts in 1967 hoping to become a painter. To finance his studies, he worked as a freelance fashion illustrator
Francisco Moschino (born February 27, 1950 - September 18, 1994) was an Italian fashion designer remembered for his unusual designs.
He found his own company Moonshadow in 1983, and launched Moschino Couture in the same year. At first, he designed casualwear and jeans, but his line eventually expanded to lingerie, eveningwear, shoes, menswear and perfumes.
His designs were very innovative and unusual such as quilted black denim miniskirt with plastic fried eggs decorating the hemline, quilted jacket decorated with bottle tops, plug-socket drop earrings, and bodices made out of safety pins.
He also mocked the fashion classics such as the Chanel jacket with garish trimmings and details. Ironically, people rushed to wear his clothes, thus becoming successful and famous in the industry he satirized.
