Brava! Daniel Roseberry!!!!!

How refreshing to actually be energized by what one sees from a collection such as Schiaparelli. Roseberry riffed on the namesake’s oeuvre without leaning heavily on the outrageousness of it or the exact duplication of it but by utilizing her signatures in a way that not each look is a grand gesture and nod to her.

The first thing that struck me was that the model is incredibly reminiscent of Millicent Rogers (Google her) which to me was brilliant as she was certainly a trendsetter and fashion icon of an era. Roseberry made full use of the Schiaparelli iconography and yet turned out a collection that just definitely has his imprimatur combined with the Schiaparelli esthetic in a way that is so appealing and distinctive.

 Respecting a heritage brand’s DNA is something that I, personally feel very strongly about and Roseberry has achieved this with great élan and imagination. There is something very slick about the collection, something very retro about the collection and something very modern about the collection all within keeping with the aura of Elsa Schiaparelli.

 I’m not going to drone on and on about how he did it and it not just because of the Dali-esque sunglasses, so here you can see it and decide for yourself the method to his madness, so to speak.
