The world famous Italian fashion brand was founded in 1967 by Elio Fiorucci. The first shop exposed Milan to the styles of swinging London and American classics such as the t-shirt and jeans. By the late 1970's and early 1980's this would be reversed, and the New York store would become famous for the fashions it introduced in The United States.

In the early 1980's the Fiorucci boutique in New York City was the epicenter of the New Wave Postmodern fashion scene. It was the place to be, and referred to as " The Daytime Studio 54 ". It attracted trendsetters including Andy Warhol, jackie O., Truman Capote, Debbie Harry, and a young Madonna, among many other creative and well known people.

Fiorucci made better posters than any other fashion brand ever did. The posters sold the clothing for sure, but the posters were the product, also. They were hugely desirable. Clothing inside the closet / posters hung on the closet door. Fiorucci posters were a collectible Pop culture phenomenon.

The image of the fashion label's cherub angels was designed by the Italian graphic designer Italo Lupi ( 1934 - 2023 ). He chose the image portraying two cherub angels because it was completely different to what Fiorucci was doing in fashion. It juxtaposed their bright bold style with a historical aesthetic, and was indeed different from the mainstream branding of the time. It perfectly communicated the freedom and creativity of Fiorucci. it soon became a world-famous Pop icon of itself associated with the cutting edge and Avant-Garde new style of the Italian fashion brand.
