Description: | Paisley printed wool 3-piece trouser suit comprising front-lacing corset-bodice; flared trousers; and jacket with heart-shaped red glass buttons. Contrasting paisley print as broad bands up trouser legs; Jacket lined in silk printed with red hearts to match the buttons. Labelled 'Moschino Couture' and 'V.D.R.P. 21 Rue D'Aboukir 75002 Paris, 44' and 'Aeffe Spa Model B0316'.
This was from the AW 1993/4 collection, one of the last shows that Franco Moschino produced before his early death in 1994 aged 44. The show represented a retrospective of Moschino's first 10 years and the outfit has many of his trademark emblems, including heart (Murano buttons and jacket lining), bustier waistcoats, paisley designs, and patchwork piecing of very contrasting fabrics. The models crawled on all fours along the catwalk laughing wildly!
Worn by a business woman from Illinois in the USA who was President of a inter-national company. She travelled the world and exlusively wore Moschino as she loved the fun of wearing outrageous clothes in a sedate business setting.
