🦞The surrealist joy that is the Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art exhibition at the V&A.
Elsa Schiaparelli has been an inspiration to designers, such as Yves Saint Laurent, Jean Paul Gaultier, Stephen Jones and Alexander McQueen since her launch in 1927. But she saw herself, first and foremost, as an artist, with fabric, shape and colour as her medium and collaborated and created with artists such as Dalí, Cocteau, Man Ray, Giacometti, and Marcel Vertès.
I’m very glad to report “Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art” was a really good balance between archival garments from Elsa and a chance to view the incredible new couture led by creative director Daniel Roseberry (appointed creative director in 2019). I’m a big fan of Mr.Roseberry he’s kept the heart of Schiaparelli, honouring to Elsa’s celebrated love of Surrealism, while not being afraid to bring the house into the 21st century.
