The Extra Ordinary Charm of the Everyday according to Schiaparelli

Daniel Roseberry does not like to use the word "everyday" for Schiaparelli because since its inception, Maison's vocation has been to recreate the extra-ordinary. No matter whether we are talking about couture or ready-to-wear, the brand's timeless elegance finds its true expression in sartorial gowns, made from the world's finest fabrics and made special by an unexpected, surreal, artistic element such as a sculptural shape, a drape at just the right point, a trompe l'oeil hat or the iconic bijoux that glamorously rework the human anatomy. We find each of these distinctive traits in the SS23 collection presented in Paris and born from a reflection by the American designer on the meaning of everyday clothing, inspired in part by a recent stay at Il Pellicano, a popular resort in Porto Ercole, where he was able to observe women from all over the world dressing for a day at the beach, an aperitif or dinner.

The result is a wardrobe made up of designs that are both everyday and extraordinary, featuring brushstrokes of color and defined yet voluminous silhouettes, made interesting by sculptural jewelry and unusual embellishments. A few examples? The suit is covered in ants, on the denim skirt the beads look like sand when it sticks to the costume, the Soleil from Elsa Schiaparelli's Zodiac collection pops up on jackets, Jean Cocteau silhouettes on sleeves, while bags like the distinctive Facebag and the classic padlock bag, along with hammered gold jewelry paired with brightly colored glass stones give that indispensable touch of glamour to show off at breakfast with the family, at the office or on a romantic evening.
