assignment 1
the technician of luxury
“Madder and more original than most of her contemporaries, Mme Schiaparelli is the one to whom the word ‘genius’ is applied most often. Coco Chanel once dismissed her rival as “that Italian artist who makes clothes.” (To Schiaparelli, Chanel was simply “that milliner.”) The Italian-born French couturière Elsa Schiaparelli is best known for the iconoclastic bravado and unrestrained, at times brazen, originality of her work. While her contemporaries Gabrielle Chanel and Madeleine Vionnet set the period's standards of taste and beauty in fashion design, Schiaparelli fouted convention in the pursuit of a more idiosyncratic style. As much an artist as a dress designer, she commandeered the talents of a host of prominent artisans and artists, most notably those associated with the Surrealist movement. Distilling their disquieting dream-based imagery and provocative concepts through her own creative process, she incorporated themes inspired by contemporaneous events, erotic fantasy, traditional and avant-garde art, and her own psyche into her designs. A repertoire of inventive devices—experimental fabrics with pronounced textures, bold prints with unorthodox imagery and colors, opulent embroideries, outsized and exposed zippers, and distinctive buttons and ornaments ranging from the whimsical to the bizarre—was her medium of creative expression.
mood board
The elements used in the mood board are as follows, the skeleton dress and the lobster, which personi�es the surrealism. Salvador Dali being a very close friend of Elsa, inspired her in most of her work. She also designed a lot of peculiar accessories, such as hats and buttons. Her sketches gives a rough impression of her personality. The color palette includes tints and tones of pink, white, bleigeand black.
photoshoot
Elsa Schiaparelli is a well renowned designer in the era of the wars. Her designs were either feminists or inspired from her friend Salvador Dali whose work was based on surrealism. The styling on the back of the shirt has both the elements feminism and surrealism. The bones which are �xed on the shirt are inspired from the famous “skeleton dress” of the designer, which gives the impression of spinal cord and the rib cage. The bows and the roses which has been put on the spinal cord has been used to create a feminist impression. In the front, minimal styling has been used to balance the whole shirt. A brooch made up of silver ribbon has been attached on the bust line. The use of colors has been kept minimal which are namely Crimson; Beige and White.
