History
Moschino, a
former art student, began
his fashion career around 1971 as a sketcher for Giorgio Armani, with
whom he worked on collections for Beged'Or and Genny. Beginning in 1977
he designed for Cadette, launched his own line in 1983. Since then he
has become known, if not universally admired, for his send-ups of
conventional fashion thinking. he has sent pairs of models out on the
runway in the same outfit, one wearing it as it would appear in a serious
fashion presentation, the other as it might be worn on the street. He
has also distributed fresh tomatoes to the audience so they could let fly
at any styles the disliked. He believes that people should take fashion
and wear it their own particular style. His motto is, De gustibus non
est disputandum - Who's to say what is good taste?Don't forget to
visit the newly opened Moschino Forever Boutique at 362 N. Rodeo Dr., the
only one in U.S.A. (Next stop: New York City!) Here, apart from
Moschino's Haute Couture collection, you can find his Moschino Cheap and
Chic Collection, as well as the fun Moschino Jeans line.
