In this Moschino dress, inexpensive Italian foods, pizza, and chianti are presented in the context of national pride. Franco Moschino uses these symbols of Italian food culture as a metaphor for the accessibility of fashion. During the 1980s, Italy mounted a successful “Made in Italy” campaign to promote exports of exceptional quality, food and fashion among them. Italian fashion was becoming more accessible at this time through lower-priced diffusion lines such as Moschino Jeans.
