🔖 Schiaparelli Haute Couture Dress
I am proud to bring you a very special vintage dress pattern, a 1935 haute couture Schiaparelli design, cleaned up and reproduced for your enjoyment, in all its original glory!!
Designed by Elsa Schiaparelli, who was an Italian fashion designer, along with Coco Chanel, and her greatest rival—she is regarded as one of the most prominent figures in fashion between the two World Wars. Starting with knitwear, Schiaparelli’s designs were heavily influenced by Surrealists like her collaborators Salvador Dalí and Jean Cocteau. Her clients included the heiress Daisy Fellowes and actress Mae West. Schiaparelli did not adapt to the changes in fashion following World War II and her couture house closed in 1954.
