Artsy, young, fun and sophisticated.

A silhouette of pure, sharp contour is transcended by a vision of the ordinary becoming spectacular. The new Schiaparelli Fall Winter Couture 2016/17bcollection reveals a strong woman with Parisian allure and cosmopolitan fantasy. Today is about defining the essence of a style in fostering the paradoxes of such an eclectic personality.

The Schiaparelli jacket becomes architectural. Graphic shoulder lines refer to the Constructivist aesthetic. Shocking pink, navy or black tuxedos and jumpsuits morph verticality with femininity

Circus’ stars inspire a milky way in which the house codes such as the pierced heart and the padlock are transformed into a new mythological constellation.
