Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art

This spectacular exhibition explores the surreal fashion of Elsa Schiaparelli and her collaborations with artists like Salvador Dalí, while also presenting the work of the contemporary house under the direction of Daniel Roseberry. Schiaparelli, a rival of Coco Chanel in the 1930s, revolutionized fashion by introducing surreal and artistic elements into her designs. The exhibition showcases iconic pieces such as the Lobster dress created with Dalí, sculptural accessories, and garments that challenge conventions. The second part of the exhibition demonstrates how Daniel Roseberry, the current artistic director, perpetuates Schiaparelli’s surreal legacy by creating spectacular pieces worn by international celebrities. Visitors discover a fascinating dialogue between past and present, where fashion is presented as a form of art in its own right. The exhibition celebrates the boldness, humor, and creativity that have defined Schiaparelli for nearly a century.
