Daniel Roseberry’s veritable resurrection of Schiaparelli continues, with Schiaparelli SS22 Ready-To-Wear presented digitally with a highly stylized lookbook that almost doubles as a campaign in itself. The question at hand is; when the Schiaparelli woman is not donning golden lungs on the red carpet or floral breasts on the cover of Vogue, what does she wear?
Schiaparelli SS22 Ready-To-Wear proposes that the true Schiaparelli woman never takes a break from surrealism, with the collection providing both a literal and figurative escape. A departure from reality, Roseberry describes Schiaparelli SS22 Ready-To-Wear as a “David Lynch holiday,” imbuing the collection with the director’s somewhat eerie sense of surrealism. One of the most successful early collaborations between fashion and art, Elsa Schiaparelli made Salvador Dalí’s art wearable with the famous skeleton rib cage dress, which makes an evocative return for SS22. An array of cone bras rendered in leather, denim, and silk pay homage to Jean Paul Gaultier; tote bags feature gold lacquer faces; the golden nipple jacket gets a baroque style update; and chain belts are extended between oversized golden ears.
With a new Schiaparelli store in New York City’s Bergdorf Goodman, the Maison is providing a wider range of consumers with a bold alternative to traditional luxury fashion houses. Audacious and irreverent, Schiaparelli SS22 Ready-To-Wear invites you to come for the innovation and stay for the classic tailoring.
