Schiaparelli couture spring 2022

Daniel Roseberry clearly speaks “Schiaparelli” ... the vocabulary and language of the brand’s eponymous designer. I can’t say that these clothes are created for commercial use but I can say they are covetable in much the same way that Thierry Mugler’s couture was!

Roseberry makes exceptional use of the ateliers and most especially of the metalworks that create the Calder like, surreal and Schiaparellian motifs employed to be part of a given look. It is clear that Roseberry does not go quietly into couture and that he has no desire to tip toe his way in... he has arrived! Statement making clothes that might be worn once or twice but I’m guessing are most certainly collected by a reignited fashion cult that can afford the prices.

Notice an emphasis on the horizontal from hem to hat with an hourglass shape in between. These are not easy to wear nor are they just something you throw on to run an errand, but they are inarguably spectacular in their own way.

So, it’s up to you ... either you love them or you don’t! You cannot deny Roseberry respect for upholding the DNA of the brand while carving a niche for himself with the vocabulary and iconography of the brand!
