The Little Guide to Schiaparelli

The Schiaparelli brand is nothing short of iconic. The Shocking Pink signature says it all: flamboyant yet simple, luxurious but humorous, and always incredibly stylish.

The brand blurs the lines between fashion and art - founder Elsa Schiaparelli collaborated with Salvador Dalí and Jean Cocteau, was painted by Picasso and photographed by Man Ray. Her creativity spans the entire collection, from clothing to accessories and fragrances to jewellery, and this legacy remains today. Schiaparelli closed the Couture House in 1954 and passed away 19 years later, after which the brand lay dormant for many years. Now, Maison Schiaparelli has been reborn, with creative director Daniel Roseberry blessing the modern fashion scene with the unique Schiaparelli style.

Anyone that is interested in fashion should not only know the Schiaparelli name, but the story. With inspirational quotes and facts as well as intriguing gossip, this little book takes you through the history and evolution of the fashion powerhouse.

"In difficult times fashion is always outrageous." - Elsa Schiaparelli

The iconic Schiaparelli 'lobster dress' was famously, and controversially, worn by Wallis Simpon - American socialite and wife to Edward VIII.

Elsa Schiaparelli's arch nemesis was Coco Chanel, who disparagingly referred to Schiaparelli as "that Italian artist who makes clothes".
