Label Text:Franco Moschino was an iconoclast who used humor and incongruous imagery to make philosophical points. Many of his fashions and advertisements provided commentary on the fashion industry. On this suit, Moschino seems to question fashion itself, with graphic lettering that reads “fashion” and “fashoff.”
