Label Text:The sitcom The Nanny (1993—1999) starred Fran Drescher as Fran Fine, whose bold wardrobe complemented her extroverted personality. Fine wore clothing by numerous high fashion designers, but Moschino appeared to be her preferred label. She paired this jacket style with matching trousers. Today, Drescher’s character is frequently cited as an icon of nineties fashion.
