Master of the irreverent and playful, Franco Moschino founded his eponymous fashion house in 1983 with the blessings of the late Gianni Versace. Starting off with a line of jeans, Moschino soon delved into womenswear, accessories and perfume – all embracing his signature cheeky more is more aesthetic. Famed for his rebellious, poke-in-the-eye commentary on the industry (eg. “There is no such thing as good taste”), Moschino controversially made fun of the fashion victims that were his followers. In 2006, with Rossella Jardini at the steering wheel, Moschino designed the outfits for Kylie Minogue’s “Showgirl” tour; in 2008, dressed Madonna for her “Sticky & Sweet” tour, and in 2011 the brand provided six outfits for Lady Gaga.
A firm believer that fashion should be fun and have meaning, Moschino’s eccentric and controversial designs live on to date through current creative director Jeremy Scott who has taken the brand to new, contemporary, quirky heights. After appropriating the logos of McDonalds, Barbie and Coca-Cola, Scott has once again cemented the brand as the talking point of fashion month, and gained a cheerful cult following with it. Scott’s playful spin on pop culture (and successful up-keeping of the brand identity) has also increased the popularity of the less flamboyant vintage designs. The much coveted Moschino logo buckle belt and rare novelty print bomber jackets are firm fashion editor favourites.
Today, the brand consists of three labels: Moschino (the main line), Moschino Cheap and Chic (women's secondary line, created in 1988), Love Moschino (the diffusion line, known as Moschino Jeans from 1986 to 2008), in order of exclusivity.
Open for Vintage’s ever-changing collection spans decades of pre-loved Moschino pieces including bags, shoes and dresses – all hand-picked by our in-house team of vintage fashion enthusiasts.
