DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE

The whimsical mood that Moschino offers is obvious in both their clothing and accessory design. After the Maison Moschino hotel opened a year ago in Milano, with its design and decoration reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland and her various dream sequences, we couldn't help but be reminded of this eccentric piece from the early 90's from Moschino Cheap and Chic.
This bustier, in wool crêpe with boning, fastened by an invisible zipper in the back right above the faux fur bunny tail. The rabbit ears are made of a soft velvet fabric with boning to bend them whichever way you prefer. We paired it with an Alaia mini skirt but you can wear it with tuxedo pants or, if you dare, with tiny shorts inspired by the bunnies at Hugh Hefner's famed Playboy Club. The embroidery with the first words of the White Rabbit when Alice spots him, is clearly a conversation starter. A clear testimony of the eccentricity of the house of Moschino worn by the right girl with the right attitude. Make this part of your Halloween costume and we guarantee you will feel like Alice in Moschino-land.
