Italian Fashion Designers

Franco Moschino Bio

Franco Moschino: "Franco Moschino is one of the most provocative and un-orthodox Italian fashion designers we’ve ever seen. His unusual view for fashion brought him loads of criticism from established fashion designers at the time, being called by the media as 'The Court Jester' or the 'Bad Boy' of fashion."

Born in Abbiategrasso, a small town in Lombardy, 14 miles from Milan, he frequented Accademia delle Belle Arti in order to become a painter. Doing various fashion sketches in order to fund his studies, he soon caught the eye of Giorgio Armani, who gave him a job in 1971 as a sketch artist for his new collections. He went on to draw his whole publicity campaigns.
