LEGENDARY SCHIAPARELLI

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.

SCHIAPARELLI

 Schiaparelli girls!!!! 

If the Mistress had been born a female, with an unlimited fortune... I would own every piece of the Schiaparelli Spring Summer 2025 line, and I would be totally wearing all these pieces out children! Last week, dear reader Milleson sent me the link to the runway show, and I immediately had chills and a rush of euphoria and happiness over this collection. I couldn't take my eyes off it. In my opinion it's been a famine of fashion for way too long. This collection for me is so inspiring, and in awe of each and every piece. I haven't felt excitement from seeing a fashion show like this since one of Gallino's. This show proves, once again at Schiaparelli, why Creative Director Daniel Roseberry is such a couture force to be reckoned with. This collection, the textile, the textures, the construction, and creativity is off the hook, right down to the elegant music and the stunning, classy venue, The Petit Palais. For the latest reveal that's named after Icarus- a Greek character who flew too close to the sun and died, Roseberry soars without falling, delivering one of the most elegant, sleek and jaw dropping collections. Classic, Timeless, yet modern, and still embodies elements that of Elsa Schiaparelli's- revolutionary shapes, her techniques and colors, along with the vintage feel of Schiaparelli.

THIS🔺

It's said that Roseberry, for this collection, started in a Parisian antique shop where he looked at an assortment of ribbons from the 20's and 30's. But when Germany invaded France, many of these spools of ribbon were hidden away, lost of a period to history. In the collection, Roseberry, using prewar, Lyon-made ribbons, as the vehicle. And the colors, cremes, tans, taupe, saffron, butter and faded peacock green is swank and chic. And you know, I'm a sucker for marabou.

Now...children, grab a cock-a-tail, sit back elegant, relax, look, take it all in, and watch the magic unfold. This....is called FASHION darlings.

MOOD BOARD

 

I said it once I say it again.... I'm loving these three days weekends since beginning this new chapter!!! And three day weekends have never happened my whole working career. I have learned to embrace Mondays and like them. Now that the Thanksgiving holiday is behind us, it may surprise some to know I still won't decorate for another week or so. I will see enough with work, clients' homes, and my mother's house. I tend to deck the hall of the Casa around the 10th of the month, but the first of two Christmas parties is for this coming weekend in which I will attend since it was off last year and I didn't make it the year before, but the second will be a no go since the party is going to be too many in attendance. At the shop, we also put out the menorah for our Jewish customers. I can't believe Hanukah has started already, is it early this year? I know I have some Jewish readers, so at this time I hope you have a lovely festival of lights holiday.

On Hanukah some people might ask,

Why could we not light all eight candles in one night?

Instead of having to light a new one for each of the eight nights.

It's because Hanukah is not merely a cause for celebrations,

It is a trial of perseverance.

Of course, gin and fashion make everything better!

Happy Monday All!
