In the early 30s, Elsa Schiaparelli gave her outfits a touch of rebellion and fantasy, thereby contributing to the renewal of couture itself. For summer 2015, the Schiaparelli brand is redefining this theme in couture in the purest spirit of its founder, mixing Haute Couture, live performance, and collaborations with artists like Jean-Paul Goude. This first collection since the departure of Marco Zanini is a collective work, an internal studio production from this label that, with no holds barred, associates boldness and extreme refinement.
Among the 21 pieces presented, the printed dress on apple green silk captures attention regardless of the context. An enchanting dress with a divine shroud attached that is dyed in flamboyant colors. Its long, draping silk is tightened around the legs as the piece takes flight through its fantasy motifs. A myriad of small, delicate, and gracious hands delicately apposed a blue ribbon. Hand-painted, the motifs reveal their subtleness thanks to a traditional printing technique using pigment discharge. This piece is just like the great women of today: mysterious and facetious !
