Franco Moschino often mined the iconography of fashion, humorously exploiting the genre he worked within through parody. Here, he plays with the vernacular of the Stockman dressmaker’s dummy, converting the dress form into an "unfinished" garment with draped swaths of fabric that allude to the flou, or dressmaking, side of a traditional couture house, and the action of draping or working three-dimensionally on the figure. In a characteristic subversion, the designer has replaced the traditional "Stockman" branding with his own identity: "Moschino" is embroidered prominently across the center front of the bodice.
