Outstanding padded Moschino jacket by Franco Moschino's first Cheap & Chic collection, Autumn/Winter 1988-89.
Details
Early Moschino pieces designed by Franco Moschino himself – often referred to as Italian fashion's "enfant terrible" – within the short period when he launched the House of Moschino in 1983 until he passed away in 1994 are very sought after. This treasure, like several others that will be listed gradually comes direct from a German socialite and fashion collector so has not been on the market prior to this.
I am happy to have found documentation of this jacket. Please see the picture after the label shot.
The short off-white padded jacket is an ultra-rare and hard to find, if ever, piece from Franco Moschino's first Cheap & Chic collection from Autumn/Winter 1988-89. With its imprinted laurel wreath and the lettering "Autunno-Inverno (Autumn-Winter) 1988-89 Collezione (Collection) N° 1 Cheap & Chic" on the back it captures the fun vibe that Moschino has always represented as a brand. Highly collectible!
The straight cut jacket features a standing collar – which conceals a zip-out hood repeating the back's print, four false buttoned flap pockets at the front, a front zip and button closure and a drawstring hem. Lovely gold tone metal buttons designed with the signature Moschino heart surrounded by the laurel wreath and signed Cheap & Chic give that certain something. The jacket is labeled "Cheap & Chic by Moschino" and tagged a vintage IT 44, D 40, GB 12, USA 10.
