These are the fashion stories making headlines this Friday.

You can now shop Moschino's spring capsule collection.

The good news: Moschino's spring 2016 capsule collection is already shoppable online. The bad news: its "Fresh Couture" iPhone 6 case (which is bright blue and shaped like a Windex bottle) is already sold out.

The Pope's visit might impact Manhattan stores.

The Pope's visit to New York is expected to have an impact on the city's retail landscape, although it remains to be seen whether it'll be a positive or negative one. Some retailers experienced a slower day in sales on Thursday, thanks to barricades, increased security and crowd control. Others, such as Macy's, have increased merchandise assortments for travelers who have come to see the Pope. {WWD}
