ET SCHIAPARELLI CRÉA LA MODE | LE TESTAMENT D'ALEXANDER MCQUEEN

Et Schiaparelli créa la mode
Born in Rome, Elsa Schiaparelli (1890-1973) moved to Paris in 1922, where she became one of the most influential haute couture designers of the Roaring Twenties. Coco Chanel became her rival, Marlene Dietrich and Katharine Hepburn swooned over her designs, and Yves Saint Laurent was inspired by her style. She made waves with her innovative ideas, and associated with the iconoclastic artists of the time, from Dalí to Cocteau. But the Second World War put a halt to her rise, and she closed down her house in 1954.
