Paris Couture Week commenced with a captivating display of artistry as Daniel Roseberry unveiled his latest collection for the House of Schiaparelli.

Known for pushing boundaries and blurring the lines between fashion and art, Roseberry once again delivered a surreal statement. While the Spring 2023 couture show faced some criticism for its faux animal heads, Fall 2023 saw Schiaparelli fully embracing its craft, leaving no stone unturned.

The runway was graced by industry titans like Tanya Dziahileva and Magdalena Frąckowiak, while the front row boasted a star-studded lineup including Cardi B, Violet Chachki, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Vogue Australia Editor-in-Chief Christine Centenera, among others. With such a distinguished audience, the show promised to be a masterclass in Haute Couture artistry.

Roseberry's collection showcased 30 looks, each a testament to true artistry. The color International Klein Blue, famously associated with French artist Yves Klein, took center stage. Models donned painted designs reminiscent of Alberto Giacometti's sculptures, exuding an ethereal aura. Trompe-l'œil sculptures of Venetian statues crafted from black diamond embellishments adorned a cream coat, echoing the grandeur of marble figures with its darts, pleats, and collar.

The drama continued with Schiaparelli's signature goldwork, creating surreal body part adornments atop Parisian-chic mini coats or embellishing necklines and clavicles with opulence. The collection offered a diverse range, from traditional corsetry to a conceptual ensemble featuring the mesmerizing International Klein Blue skirt that billowed like a leaf in the wind. The appearance of loose knots of cashmere mimicking woodland creatures contrasted with the surreal wooden hand necklace, while a blazer and pencil skirt crafted from gold pebbles evoked the beauty of nature.

In striking contrast, hyper-modern silhouettes took the stage, featuring silver bead shawls and classic Little Black Dresses, showcasing another facet of Schiaparelli influenced by high-end socialites who appreciate such artistic expression.
