Schiparelli’s ready-to-wear isn’t ordinary, but rather a more accessible version of Couture. On this note, the House’s Creative Director Daniel Roseberry designed a collection that addresses a woman’s all sides of life. He pictured her closet, which doesn’t only feature sumptuous evening gowns, but also crisp white cotton shirts, clean-lined wool pencil skirts, and trousers in every cut and fabric to meet her daily fashion needs.
Schiaparelli’s iconic couture vibes are not something this collection misses. To the contrary, he presented couture pieces to live life in – whether at a dinner party, at the office or on a flight. Finding inspiration in a trip he made to Italian resort Il Pellicano, his creations were clothes that adapt to women’s life while featuring the House’s iconic gold silk embroidered measuring tape. Strokes of color appeared on sharp but roomy silhouettes embellished by ever-so-glamorous bijoux that pay tribute to the timeless jewelry found at the Paul Bert Serpette antiques market in Paris.
A Schiaparelli collection couldn’t be complete without handbags. Besides the all-time conversation-starter “Facebag”, the classic Padlock is unveiled in new versions – from crocodile to nappa leather marked with 24k gold leaf hand prints. Well, if this is not a collection that enhances the mystery of a woman, we don’t know what is.
