Franco Moschino

Franco Moschino, who originally created eccentric, often humorous fashion in the late 1970s, was a long time before it became a craze. Franco was born on February 27, 1950 in Abbiategrasso, Italy, an area that has inspired his works. He attended fashion schools such as Maragoni Fashion Institute, Brera Academy, and Florence Academy of Fine Arts.

Moschino is one of the most popular Italian designers of all time, known for his wacky and quirky aesthetics. Moschino's Spring-Summer 1987 show, in which he exhibited his paper doll couture, garnered a significant cult following. Moschino pieces have been worn by celebrities ranging from Madonna to Winnie Harlow. Moschino's designs span from amusing traffic signals to a teddy bear entangled between the hips and the neck.

Several fashion critics have praised his approach to quirky aesthetics and graphics that are frequently mirrored from the realities of humor - the collection's main focus. Rather than establishing new styles, he prefers to convert existing elements into a new, distinct style. Franco Moschino adheres to classic fashion style while emphasizing details. Moschino's goal is to defy fashion rules so that people can be happy with what they wear. His fashion career, however, was short-lived. After years of sickness, the Italian designer died in 1994, but he left behind a significant legacy that has left an everlasting impression to this day.
