For the Moschino Resort 2026 collection, Adrian Appiolaza staged a roving fantasy holiday—from the casinos in Las Vegas to exploring the Grand Canyon.

The Creative Director was inspired by Franco Moschino’s s contribution to fashion as he championed chic laced with a sly sense of humor.

“Chaos is one of the most inspiring concepts I’ve picked up from Franco Moschino,” said Appiolaza. “Fashion often fixates on a single message. But his whole ethos was about resisting restriction, embracing individuality, and—most importantly—limiting the limitations. Freedom means everything to me.”

The wardrobe for such a whirlwind travel itinerary leaned heavily on dynamic sportswear and activewear—reimagined, deconstructed, and crossbred. Tailoring morphed into leisurewear via cozy fabrics, while tracksuits got an upgrade in suiting textiles. Surreal trompe l’oeils were never far: a classic trench sprouted sleeves inspired by the Tie Me Bag; a bikini was improbably woven into a turtleneck; slot machine screens exploded into prints on shirts and tunics; a tailored blazer came cinched with a boxer’s waistband; and, naturally, one handbag took the form of a fish.
