Paris, the world capital of fashion, was the stage for a truly extraordinary fashion show. The Schiaparelli fashion house opened the Women's Haute Couture Week with a collection that transcended the boundaries of fashion and became a true work of art. Under the creative direction of Daniel Roseberry, the brand presented an ode to artists, paying homage to the legendary Elsa Schiaparelli and her collaborations with great names in art throughout its history.

Schiaparelli's Autumn/Winter 2023/24 collection delved into the realm of creativity, exploring imagination and artistic expression in every detail. Dresses with enormous volumes dominated the runway, in a color palette ranging from white, black, gold, and silver. The avant-garde reputation of the fashion house, built over a century, was honored with references to Elsa Schiaparelli's historic collaborations with renowned artists such as Dalí and Man Ray.

Daniel Roseberry spared no effort in creating a surrealistic atmosphere for the fashion show. Celebrities such as rapper Cardi B and actresses Gwendoline Christie and Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu were among the guests who witnessed a truly unique fashion spectacle at the Petit Palais in Paris. The intention was clear: to reinterpret everyday women's clothing in a surrealist manner. White blouses, black high collars, and coats with exaggerated proportions composed looks that defied conventions and sparked imagination.

However, this is not the first time Schiaparelli has caused controversy with its fashion shows. Six months ago, the brand included fake heads of wild animals, sparking heated discussions about ethics in fashion. But the truth is that Schiaparelli has always been bold and provocative, pushing the boundaries of conventional fashion and triggering important debates about the relationships between fashion, art, and ethics.


Fashion is a form of expression, and in the hands of Daniel Roseberry and the Schiaparelli team, it becomes a true artistic experience. The brand continues to assert its place at the forefront of haute couture, combining the technical expertise of fashion with the creative freedom of art. With its surrealistic runway show, Schiaparelli captivated not only fashion enthusiasts but also appreciators of art in its purest form.

While the fashion world seeks to reinvent itself and explore new territories, the fashion house shows that art and fashion can walk hand in hand, creating something truly unique and transcendent.
