About this work
Franco Moschino’s Survival jacket and trousers was a highlight of his 1991 spring–summer collection show. The utilitarian garment comprises tan trousers and a jacket littered with pockets that hold fashion ‘essentials’. Adapting the classic khaki safari jacket for the urban jungle, Moschino has filled the jacket’s many compartments with an assortment of shiny, gilded beauty aids, including mirror, lipstick, mascara, nail polish, powder compact and an assortment of brushes. Filled with tongue-in-cheek jabs about the world of high fashion within which Moschino was firmly embedded, the garment reflects the humorous and provocative nature of his design language.
