Herald-Chronicle

Elsa Schiaparelli is the founder of the fashion house that bears her name, Schiaparelli. Schiaparelli opened the fashion house in Paris in 1927. She set herself apart with artistic elements incorporated into classic pieces. Her collaborations with surrealist artist Salvador Dali added charm and untraditional style to common products such as hats, perfumes, and other accessories.

Schiaparelli History

Today Schiaparelliā€™s legacy is carried on by creative director Daniel Roseberry. Roseberryā€™s work has paid homage to the founder and brought Schiaparelli to the forefront of fashion dressing Hollywood-style icons such as Beyonce and Margo Robbie.

The spring summer 2024 Haute Couture collection debuted in Paris on Jan. 22. This collection’s inspiration pulls from Elsa Schiaparelliā€™s fascination with space which inspired her 1938 astrology collection as well as Roseberryā€™s Texas roots. The opening look starts the show in signature Schiaparelli black. The structured look has strength in its sculpted shoulders that is balanced with the softness of a lace collar.

This juxtaposition between hard silhouettes and soft fabrications continues throughout the collection. Look 21 shows off Roseberryā€™s Texas inspiration with an asymmetrical jacket featuring a bandana embroidered and fax horse braids.

Roseberry also pulled from his youth with the two most talked about looks of the collection. Look six is an all-white ensemble and the featured accessory, a foam doll covered in analog technology devices and Swarovski crystal jewels. The bejeweled electric baby brings the collection to a couture level of avantgarde.

Look seven expands on the previous look with a dress covered completely in analog technology that Roseberry grew up using. The technology moves like almost any other fabrication giving life to what could have been a stiff look.

The closing look maintains the theme of structure the collection has in the sculpted shoulder pieces but it ends the collection on a softer note. The shimmering fabrication of the look ties in with the bejeweled middle looks and finishes the collection with a bang.
