Information On Moschino
Francisco Moschino was born in February 27 1950 and he died on September 18 1994). Moschino was an Italian fashion designer remembered for his playful, quirky designs.
Moschino was born in Abbiategrasso, Lombardy, Italy, located 14 miles from Milan. Before becoming a fashion designer Moschino attended Accademia delle Belle Arti in Milan to study fine arts in 1967 hoping to become a painter. To finance his studies, Moschino worked as a freelance fashion illustrator. Eventually Moschino’s interest shifted from paints and canvases to fabric and tailoring. His fashion career began in 1971 when Moschino became an illustrator for Gianni Versace and continued to work for him for another six years. In 1977 Moschino became a designer for Cadette.
Moschino waited until 1983 to found his own company Moonshadow, and launched Moschino Couture in the same year. At first Moschino designed casualwear and jeans, but his line eventually expanded to lingerie, eveningwear, shoes, menswear and perfumes. In 1988 Moschino launched a less expensive Cheap and Chic line. 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. Because of this Moschino dubbed as Jean-Paul Gaultier of Italian fashion for his highly innovative designs but their styles are different; while Gaultier experiments with different fabrics and shapes, Moschino used basic forms and traditional methods. Moschino also spoofed high fashion lines through his clothes. For example, "Expensive jacket" was embroidered in gold across the back of a cashmere jacket, and "Bull chic" on a matador-styled outfit. Moschino 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 Moschino satirized. Since his early death in 1994, Rosella Jardini has directed Moschino which continues to be popular to this date.
