The "Ace of Hearts" blazer by Italian designer Franco Moschino characteristically deconstructs the high-mindedness of fashion by adding a generous, celebratory touch to his designs. Like a cartoon or an emoji, the Ace of Hearts is an easily recognizable icon, its symbolic meaning of love, happiness and celebrations accessible to all.
As a postmodern designer, Moschino champions the “camp” sensibility, which upends notions of high versus low, and good taste versus bad taste, as described by Susan Sontag in her seminal essay "Notes on Camp" (1964), which Moschino had printed on glass in his office. Through his democratic designs, Moschino expresses the ideas captured in Sontag's writings that "Camp taste is, above all, a mode of enjoyment, of appreciation - not judgment. Camp is generous. It wants to enjoy."
