Elsa Schiaparelli................





"Madder and more original that most of her contemporaries, Mme Schiaparelli is the one to whom the word genius is applied most often," - Time Magazine
wrote in 1934.  Chanel dismissed her greatest rival as "that Italian artist who makes clothes."  Elsa's peak creative period was the 1930's .

In Marco Zanini's first show for the house of Schiaparelli, you can see that he researched Elsa's witty legacy for his first collection
