The tenth anniversary of the Moschino label was celebrated with a runway collection titled “Chaos.” This gown—crafted from plastic trash liners and carrier bags—made a statement about waste. Long before the concept of “plastic free” entered the mainstream, Moschino’s custom bags were made from biodegradable materials and bore slogans about reuse.
