Little Book Of Schiaparelli

Little Book of Schiaparelli chronicles the work of one of history’s most influential and eccentric modifiers. Gifted with a strikingly imaginative and experimental approach to fashion, Elsa Schiaparelli cultivated a combination of the witty and the surreal, the avant-garde and the elegant, from her garments and jewelry to her collaborations with Salvador Dali, Jean Cocteau, and Alberto Giacometti. Exquisitely illustrated and expertly written, the book follows a biographical chronology detailing her life, career, and major creative themes of her work. Images of Schiaparelli’s finished designs, along with close-up details and illustrations of her personal sketches, showcase the brilliance of her groundbreaking work and the legacy that lives on at the House of Schiaparelli to this day.
