Founded in Milan in 1983 by the late Franco Moschino, the brand was established as a provocative and playful counterpoint to the serious tone of the fashion establishment. Moschino, who began his career as an illustrator for Gianni Versace, built his reputation on surreal, witty, and irreverent designs that often parodied high-fashion classics and commented on consumer culture. Signature elements have included trompe-l'œil effects, cheeky slogans like “Fashion is full of chic,” and the iconic teddy bear motif, which first appeared in 1988. The house offers ready-to-wear, handbags, footwear, and fragrances, known for their bold colors and eccentric, statement-making style.
