  15. <p>     DIED. FRANCO MOSCHINO, 44, Italian designer; from complications
  16. of an abdominal tumor; in Brianza, Italy. Moschino specialized
  17. in "antifashion": jackets using faucet handles or dice for buttons,
  18. ball gowns made of plastic trash bags. By the late '80s, women
  19. were paying thousands for Moschino's creations, which, ironically,
  20. had become expensive status symbols even as they mocked the
  21. overblown and overpriced.
