Daniel Roseberry talks Schiaparelli's Spring/Summer 2021 Haute Couture collection at the Paris Fashion Week.

I want to create an alternative couture house.&quot;

For this&nbsp;Haute Couture collection at Paris Fashion Week, Schiaparelli showcases unexpected garments are presented such as blouson leather trousers&nbsp;and cream-colored denim jeans&nbsp;re-imagined in faded and double-faced duchess silk, studded with hanging golden locks. &quot;We started by discarding the usual couture silhouettes. I wanted to take pieces that &#39;shouldn&#39;t&#39; be shown in this context&mdash;the pants, a bomber jacket&mdash;to invite people to see them in a new guise,&quot; says Roseberry. There remains the passion for draping with alternative fabrics such as silk velvet tied to neoprene and the column dress draped in a sinuous elastic silk jersey.

Starting from the idea of Elsa Schiaparelli who created dresses that distorted the body, with elements torn from the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/art/vincent-darre-interview-2019" target="_blank">surrealist</a> culture and movement, the garments of the Spring/Summer 2021 Haute Couture collection suggest the perception of the human body in space. Schiaparelli&#39;s&nbsp;ambition was to experiment, not to respect the canonical rules of costume and to upset the preconceptions of shape, colors, iconography, and materials. Irreverence and trompe-l&#39;&oelig;il dialogue with the same language, shaping golden ornamental elements: ear-shaped earrings, a nose with a septum piercing on the bags, bustiers that bring masculine ergonomics back to the women&#39;s body, and even the scene of a breastfeeding becomes a real sculpture.
