1990s
Italy
A highly collectible vest from Moschino Cheap and Chic, constructed from an assemblage of vintage silk neckties arranged into a graphic patchwork front. Each tie retains its original pattern and structure, creating a sculptural, textural surface that reflects the irreverent humor and conceptual wit associated with Franco Moschino’s work. The back contrasts with bold black and white vertical striping, while an adjustable belt allows the silhouette to be shaped at the waist, balancing fashion commentary with wearability.
