Bertrand Guyon has served up Elsa in the grandest of ways.
It is all in your face and honestly some of it wonderfully fantastical and
quite beautiful. I wish he has forgone the huge animal headpieces as, for me;
they are a great distraction from the clothes themselves.

All if the fashionphiles are aware of Elsa’s penchant of r
“shocking” and for her wildest imaginings translated into clothing and Guyon
gets it across prolifically and deftly. What was so interesting here is that he
showed to most over the top extravagant pieces and then as almost a palette
cleanser a little black dress which was as much part of her DNA as the extremes
she was prone to.

In essence, Guyon played to his audience, the eponymous
designer and used his formidable talents in projecting his vision and capturing the spirit of the brand. When
I think of it, there are few collections that can make that claim especially those
of the heritage variety.

Standouts were in tailoring, colorations, patterns and yes
of course the fantasy which was integral to what the Schiaparelli MO is all
about; without hesitation I can state that the jackets were most arresting and
of keen interest. She was provocateur, designer, innovator, stylist, art lover,
audacious and antagonist in many ways. It would be my opinion that Guyon stepped
into her shoes here with a perfect fit including her sense of irony and humor!
