This is an exceptional red wool jacket and skirt ensemble from Franco Moschino’s A/W 1990-1991 Couture Collection that plays literally with the couture and – more specifically – sewing theme and puts you instantly into good humor. It captures the fun and charm vibe that Moschino has always represented as a brand and that collectors love.
I am happy to have found documentation of the black sister jacket. Please inquiry for a runway video sequence of that time.
The collarless cropped boxy cut jacket features a black thread trim, exaggerated black embroidered button holes and oversized MOSCHINO COUTURE marked buttons on the front. The back shows an oversized gold embroidered threaded needle that has a question mark detail at the top. The design has an open front with no closure, lightly padded shoulders and long sleeves.
The matching short high waisted pencil skirt has the black trim along the hem as well as black thread button holes and large buttons. It features a traditional high rise with a waistband and a concealed zip and button fastening at the left side.
Both pieces are made from light pure wool and are fully lined in silky cherry-red rayon. The jacket’s label reads “MOSCHINO COUTURE!” and features the iconic golden heart. Tagged a vintage IT 42, D 38, GB 10, USA 8. The skirt’s label has been cut off.
Excellent vintage condition with two nips out of the fabric near the skirt’s seam and one pulled thread at the skirt’s back from storage. See the reference close-up photos. Both are barely noticeable and mentioned for accuracy only. Worn once only.
