MOSCHINO JEANS - Printed Knit Maxi Dress, Size 8

From Moschino Jeans’ early 2000s collections comes this fitted black cotton-knit dress with long sleeves and a sleek, columnar silhouette. The minimalist design is playfully interrupted by scattered Latin phrases in contrasting white lettering, including “PRIMUM VIVERE, DEINDE PHILOSOPHARI,” meaning “First live, then philosophize.” The phrase continues around the dress, with the back spelling out “FIRST LIVE, THEN PHILOSOPHIZE,” creating a clever 360-degree graphic statement. Equal parts intellectual and irreverent, it perfectly captures Moschino’s talent for turning fashion into a witty conversation.
