Bertrand Guyon with Me and Vanessa Sterbenz Sr. Stylist at Bergdorf Goodman
The History and creativity of Elsa Schiaparelli lives on again!
For those who need a little fashion history let me give you a the man points.
Elsa Shiaparelli is a legendary Italian-born fashion designer who created a fashion house in Paris.
It was her Surrealist and Whimsy fashions that made her become the ( INSTAWORTHY ATTENTION GET-ER) for fashion.
She collaborated with some of the most important and creative artists of their time
Ex: Salvador Dalí and Jean Cocteauin.
Bertrand Guyon is the one steering the creative direction for the new rebirth of the Schiaparelli collection. Showing at Paris Couture Fashion week at the Opera Garnier in Paris.
The updated collection are on point for this fashion house. Sculptural dresses, and bright ornate embellishments the high light the dresses. Each look is truly a piece of art.
Materials like ostrich feathers, flowers, embroidery, and sequins show case the handwork and labor of the art of Couture.
As research for this collection, it is said that Bertrand Guyon re imagined different color combinations and was inspired by the porcelain of Sevrés, Chantilly and Meissen for the floral section.
The collection I reviewed back at Bergdorf Goodman ( the only place to see it in NYC) carried the updated collection inspired by Man Ray. The prints were a complex interpretation of creativity and modernity. Man Rays famous work of Glass Tears photography was printed on a T’s and then embellished with three-dimensional glass teardrops.
The collection this season is for the collector. You feel as if you are purchasing a piece of art work that has the history behind it and the fun of being able to show it off when you wear it.
These clothes are one of a kind and all the sensibility that Elsa would appreciate with her name being carried on.
