In 1988, Moschino said, “I think we’ve been successful because we’re not trying to be chic . . . people say [we’re] not very refined. But just go out on the street and see how unchic is mankind.” That same year, Moschino started a less expensive diffusion line that he named Cheap and Chic. His playful aesthetic is evident in this dress that resembles a man’s double-breasted tuxedo jacket with tails.
