From 2002 the Moschino fashion house is also widening the marvelous collection of Pollini, and its Cheap and Chic line is available in our shop. Franco Moschino studied fine arts at the Accademia delle Belle Arti (1971) so that he can be a painter. But while he was still in school, he was already freelancing as a fashion illustrator, and landed a job as sketcher for Gianni Versace in 1971. He left fine arts when he realized that fabric and tailoring was also a form of expression. I in 1983, showing his "message laden fashion" -- Stop the Fashion System!; Who's to say what is good taste?; Moschino designs are often involved with their message, whether it's in the form of text on cloth or a visual pun in the form of a sprout covered bikini. His clothes are always wearable and sexy. Using the basic elements of form and design, his creations are cut to flatter the figure, and with additional detailing of a touch of irony or a sharp sense of humour made them very desirable by the fashionable set. Although Moschino usually parodied the fashion industry and the fashionistas themselves, with the hope of destroying the dictates of fashion, he found himself at the top of the business and his creations became status symbols. He died in 1994, but the fashion house carries on and – through Metropolitan – brings
his spirit to Budapest.
