Label Moschino, Italian (1983–present)

The Moschino label, founded in 1983 by Franco Moschino (1950-1994), is known for irreverent mockery of high fashion. Here the classic bucket bag is subverted by topping the subdued dark green leather with artificial grass, velvety leaves, and colorful pansies.
