Encouraged by fashion icon Gianni Versace, the late Franco Moschino founded the eponymous label in 1983. He soon gained fame with his bold, eccentric designs: gold chains, colourful prints and playful references to pop art. But Moschino was more than just flamboyant fashion — he was also a rebel within the industry, mocking the commercial side of fashion with sharp irony and humour. His collections often served as a platform for social criticism and awareness.

In the 1980s and 1990s his jewellery perfectly reflected this unique vision. Think large gold letters, playful pendants and symbols of love, peace and freedom. Each piece was an outspoken statement — not only of style, but also of identity.

Vintage Moschino jewellery is still beloved today by women who follow their own path. They question the conventions of fashion and consciously choose pieces with character. Moschino remains the brand for those who dare to stand out, embrace rebellion and use fashion as a means of expression.
