Schiaparelli 's Daniel Roseberry Creates Bold, Fearless, Body Parts Artistry AOC Jewelry News

Elsa Schiaparelli, an audacious Italian fashion designer, with an aristocratic lineage back to the Medici family, was a 20th century fashion designer known for her avant-garde creations.

After lying dormant for decades, Tod's SpA Chief Executive Diego Della Valle, bought Schiaparelli (pronounced Skap-a-REL-ee) in 2006, without developing a reinvigorated brand.

Since 2019, Elsa Schiaparelli’s spirit has been renewed in an exciting and fresh translation in the Maison now led by Creative Director Daniel Roseberry.

Elsa Schiaparelli and Salvador Dali: A Daring Collaboration

In the 1930s, Schiaparelli often collaborated with Salvador Dali, the brilliant Spanish surrealist artist, to create a line of groundbreaking garments and accessories that defied conventional norms and pushed the boundaries of creativity.

Dali's surrealistic touch added a touch of madness and intrigue to Schiaparelli's designs. Together, they created pieces that challenged conventions and explored the realm of the subconscious but also the human body.

Body Language

Eyes, ears, nose, lips, and hands were among Elsa’s obsessions and were particularly evident in the collaborative artistic relationship of Schiaparelli and Salvador Dalí.

These glamorous and bold accessories reflect the wit and artistic gamesmanship of the Schiaparelli legacy in a totally-modern style.
