As always, the brilliant man behind Schiaparelli does it again in another stunning collection this past Paris Fashion week. I would so be wearing any of these as the Mistress approves. Daniel Roseberry unveiled the collection in a show that was as visually assertive as it was conceptually charged. Again, against the picturesque and opulent backdrop of the Petit Palais, Roseberry delivered a cinematic study in contrasts, futurism intertwined with historical codes. Eroticism layed beneath craftsmanship, a collection that felt like both a homage and a defiant leap forward, showing promise for a famine of fashion. Always a standout here. Stripping the palette down to stark black, silver and gray, seems fitting for the time were in, Roseberry emphasized surface over color. Reflective embellishments took center stage. And the venue is so great from the fashion goer to view and see multiple models walking the curved walkway. As fashion braces for a generational shuffle, Schiaparelli stand as both culmination and catalyst...and he does this legendary fashion house proud, still letting Elsa Schiaparelli's surreal fashion still shine through. The gowns and suits are to die for, and I would so wear the winter coat with the fur trim embellishments!!!!
I swear, the minute his shows start, I get chills.
Cinematic.
ReplyDeleteYou nailed it there. It's that sense of spectacularity what draws me in. Can anybody wear this? No.
Will everybody buy it? Nope. It's not made for that.
It's made to create art. And art was created.
XOXO
Most of that collection is not wearable by people who are not stick pictures.
ReplyDeleteI love the Jessica Rabbit vibe with that one on the bottom row.
ReplyDeleteThere is couture for the monied few and there is haute couture for the sake of displaying inspiration, art, the past and future of the design house and add in a bit of provocation. Few if any of these garments will be worn in public; the saddle dress at the bottom left and the red dress at the top with the chest plate on the model's back are prime examples. That jewel-encrusted blob at her neck is a beating heart. Another challenging and stellar collection from Daniel Roseberry.
ReplyDelete…Magnificence à la parade ! :)
