While the clothing embodied the logo craze and decadence of the era, the clothes also referenced the heavy drug use of the time with prints that featured pills, prescription bottle purses, and iPhone cases that look like medication blister packs. Even the slogan of the collection, “Just Say MoschiNO” echoed the prevalence of drug use with a tongue-in-cheek twist on the famous anti-drug advertising campaign. The collection drew protest from those who felt that it made light of drug abuse and addiction, with former drug addict and Minneapolis drug counselor Randy Anderson going so far as to create a [_Change.org_](https://www.change.org/p/marc-metrick-saks-fifth-avenue-marcello-tassinari-moschino) petition calling for Saks Fifth Avenue to stop selling the collection and for customers to boycott the store until they pulled it from shelves. No longer mentioned in the petition, Nordstrom has chosen to remove the collection from their stores and online. According to the [_LA Times_](http://www.latimes.com/fashion/la-ig-moschino-20161007-snap-story.html), Nordstrom stated that their decision comes from honoring their customers’ concerns. “We appreciate all the constructive feedback we received from concerned customers and ultimately decided to remove the collection from our site and the three stores where we offered it.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4525844/nordstrom-moschino-drug-theme/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4525844/nordstrom-moschino-drug-theme/"},"headline":"Department Store Removes Moschino's Controversial Prescription Pill-Themed Collection","datePublished":"2016-10-10T22:07:03.000Z","dateModified":"2023-12-13T17:57:28.000Z","description":"\"Just Say MoschiNO\"","url":"https://time.com/4525844/nordstrom-moschino-drug-theme/","keywords":["Newsfeed","fashion","entertainment","Culture"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5d7e905ec14261a6/6988a97bcd1bba926b702a74/moschino-pulled-from-nordstroms-drugs.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5d7e905ec14261a6/6988a97bcd1bba926b702a74/moschino-pulled-from-nordstroms-drugs.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Moschino - Runway - Milan Fashion Week SS17","caption":"Moschino - Runway - Milan Fashion Week SS17","creditText":"Pietro D'aprano—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4525844/nordstrom-moschino-drug-theme/","name":"Department Store Removes Moschino's Controversial Prescription Pill-Themed Collection"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Moschino Selling Plastic Dry Cleaning Bag Dresses for $735","description":"Moschino's newest dress is a $737 dry cleaning bag.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/2FLwGqis/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2017-11-08T14:05:45.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/2FLwGqis.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4525844/nordstrom-moschino-drug-theme/","duration":"PT36S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4525844/nordstrom-moschino-drug-theme/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
