1990s Moschino Couture Novelty Belt Skirt

About the Item

This late 1980s or early 1990s Moschino Couture novelty skirt is adorned with a gold embroidered chain with a medallion on the hip that reads "Cartoon Couture" in a clever trompe l’oeil effect. Franco Moschino is clearly playing on Karl Lagerfeld's designs for Chanel from the same era. The skirt is simply but skillfully cut in black silk crepe, is lined and has a small back zipper. In excellent vintage condition with no issues and a best fit for size UK 6-8 or US 2-4. Note on Designer: Born in Abbiategrasso, Italy in 1950, Franco Moschino studied painting at the Accademia di Belle Arti, Milan, where he supplemented his income with work as a fashion illustrator. In 1971, he began work as an illustrator for Italian designer Gianni Versace. Following his time at Versace, Moschino went on to work for the fashion house Cadette in 1977 alongside Karl Lagerfeld. In 1983, Moschino launched Moschino Couture and found enormous success before his untimely death in 1994. He was succeeded by his long time collaborator, Rossella Jardini, and then Jeremy Scott in 2013. Scott has continued the fashion house's similarly irreverent approach to whimsical design and surrealism. Long live Moschino! MEASUREMENTS Waist - 25 in. (63.5 cm) Hip - 35 in.
