Founder Elsa Schiaparelli was a
member of the in-crowd of the 1920s,
counting the likes of Pablo Picasso,
Salvador Dalì, Jean Cocteau and Lee
Miller among her circle of friends. This
illustrious history provides current
creative director Bertrand Guyon a rich
heritage of icons and images on which
to draw. Refreshed and reinvigorated
symbols in the new collection include
Schiaparelli’s famous shade of hot pink,
this time on an ultra-contemporary
gown of multilayered silk chiffon, motifs
in the form of Elsa’s iconic heart and
Picasso’s Cubist portraits.
