Schiaparelli and the Artists

Schiaparelli and the Artists

Published on the occasion of the couture houseâ€™s ninetieth anniversary, this book celebrates Elsa Schiaparelliâ€™s shared creative passion with the twentieth centuryâ€™s most esteemed artists.

Known for her bravado and boundary-pushing dresses, Elsa Schiaparelli is undoubtedly one of the greatest icons of twentieth-century fashion. After launching her eponymous haute couture house in Paris in 1927, the Roman-born designer captured the attention of the world at large not only thanks to her trompe lâ€™oeil patterns and surrealist formsâ€”but also because of her creative relationships with some of the epochâ€™s most renowned artists.

From Salvador DalÃ, who collaborated with Schiaparelli on her infamous Lobster Dress to Alberto Giacomettiâ€™s furnishings for her salon and RenÃ© Magritte, whose surrealist works inspired some of the designerâ€™s creations, this beautifully illustrated tome delves into the couturiereâ€™s fascinating rapports with these artistic legends. Through never-before-seen photography, intimate anecdotes, and essays penned by some of todayâ€™s most authoritative fashion critics, curators, and personalities, this volume is the first definitive work dedicated to the shared inspiration between the designer and her circle of artist friends.

Unique in its breadth of artwork and diverse contributors, this visually stunning book is a must for anyone interested in avant-garde art, twentieth-century fashion, or thought-provoking design.
