Elsa Schiaparelli, Chanel’s arch enemy and the designer who flirted with surrealism and brought shock factor into fashion.

"Designing clothes, let it be said in passing, is not a profession but an art. It is one of the most difficult and disappointing arts because as soon as the dress is born, it already belongs to the past. A dress does not remain attached to the wall like a painting, nor does it lead the long intact and preserved existence of a book."

These words, pronounced by Elsa Schiaparelli, perfectly encapsulate her unique perspective on fashion and the world. As a young girl, she saw the eccentric aristocrat, the Marchesa Casati, leading a leopard on a diamondstudded leash. The boldness and style of it never left Schiaparelli. In reality, Elsa Schiaparelli dedicated her entire life to capturing the enchantment of Marchesa Casati, not only in her fashion designs but also in her personal journey. Her life, marked by numerous highs and lows. As a young woman, more instinctive than intellectual, she drifted on the edges of creativity. Let's take a journey into the life of Elsa Schiaparelli, a visionary artist in the realm of fashion.
