Maison Schiaparelli has made huge fashion headlines this year: Lady Gaga performed the national anthem at President Biden’s inauguration in a custom-made Schiaparelli gown; Beyoncé wore a showstopper bespoke Schiaparelli leather mini dress to the 2021 Grammy Awards.
With her inventive imagination and revolutionary vision on sportswear, Haute Couture, art, fragrance, and ordinary elements turned into elaborate creations, Elsa Schiaparelli instilled a creative spirit in 20th-century fashion.
Delphine Bellini, CEO of Maison Schiaparelli, will talk about the fabulous heritage of this revolutionary Couture House and its unexpected revival. She will share insights about Schiaparelli’s most iconic creations and her collaborations with some of the most illustrious artists of the time like Dalí, Cocteau, Man Ray, and Giacometti. Bellini will speak about what animates, still today, the creative spirits of the Atelier which, from Marlene Dietrich to Lady Gaga’s outfits, has never stopped innovating.
