Moschino Breaks Fashion Apart to Rebuild It
February 28, 2025- Milan Fashion Week, Moschino Fall/Winter 2025/26
Moschino doesn’t follow rules—it breaks them apart and stitches them back together. For Fall/Winter 2025/26, Adrian Appiolaza reimagines chaos as a creative force. He starts with a single dress from 1992—Franco Moschino’s legendary Mannequin gown. A garment that exposed fashion’s construction now becomes a blueprint for deconstruction.
The show begins with a dress sewn onto a tailor’s mannequin, unfinished and raw. Strips of fabric fall from the body, half-built yet fully realized. This is a conversation between the past and the present. Tailoring gets dissected, seams unravel, and garments split open to reveal hidden layers of craftsmanship.
Text scrawled across coats and dresses reads The Love We Trust—a message unraveling into frayed hems and exposed linings. Even logos break apart, dissolving into abstract forms. Moschino’s signature humor remains but with a sharper edge. Every look strikes a balance between construction and destruction, structure and collapse.

Moschino Turns Whimsy Into Rebellion
Moschino’s accessories turn fashion into satire. A handbag shaped like a plate of spaghetti, another mimicking a paper boat, and one resembling a barrel of wine. These playful touches contrast with sharp tailoring and bold silhouettes.
Appiolaza teams up with British textile house Sanderson of London, reinventing four of their archival prints in true Moschino style. Wallpaper florals meet anarchic cuts. Prints distort, stretch, and morph across unexpected surfaces.
The Smile Dress, another Franco Moschino relic, makes its return. But this time, the grin isn’t printed—it’s carved out, creating a cutout along the bodice. A literal take on the brand’s playful rebellion.

Moschino Sends Fashion a Warning
Moschino never just entertains—it challenges. The finale shifts from playful chaos to urgent commentary. Garbage-bag-inspired gowns take over the runway. The message is loud and clear: waste nothing. Every stitch matters.
An oversized T-shirt closes the show, stamped with SOS: Save Our World. The slogan, first seen in the ‘90s, remains eerily relevant. The show ends, but the question lingers—is fashion listening?
