Exploring the archives, Rosella Jardini came up with the perfect early-to-mid-80s Moschino look, including in the collection long ruffled tiered skirts, bustier frocks, leather skirt suits embellished with metallic elements and studs, gold suits and trench coats, classic logo belts and slogan T-shirts.

A touch of surrealism wasn’t missing: padlocks replaced buttons on leather jackets; keys were used as embellishments; purses were turned into pockets for that perfect Schiaparelli touch (a trick that called back to mind Moschino’s "Dinner Jacket", the iconic piece from his A/W 1989-90 collection that incorporated cutlery pieces instead of pockets) and prints featuring Commedia dell’Arte characters were mixed with Moschino's trademark peace symbols.

Moschino's parody and critique of fashion was better explored by the designer himself in the pictures collected in the volume " To be, or not to be, that's fashion!" published in 1988 by Idea Books.
