Schiaparelli is Italian Maison that continues to outshine its French rival with the American creative director Daniel Roseberry, who is named King of Fashion by American journalist at the NYT. His fashion and couture cross the line between art and performance, from the runway right down to the gilded, surrealist accessories this time featuring lot of feathered creatures for Schiaparelli’s spring 2026 haute couture show, which finally underlines why his King title may be justified, and more than so... As the show took place during a foggy Parisian morning at the mood was set for a surreal experience and not only by the guest attending, the American Hollywood stars like Demi Moore and Amazon billionaires. The collection was comprised of golden, black, and silver glamazons, plus lush fabrics that came in waves: cascading ruffles, sculpted and silver sequin gowns laden with feathers presumably by one of many ateliers that support the production of Haute couture, such as Lesage. Using surrealism as the beginning thread, bird silhouettes were layered up in trompe l’oeil fantasies, from glimmering starburst motifs to metallized suits of shining, modern amor. Guests were seated in semi shadow as each model appeared on the center of large podium as birds emerging from a forest to misty meadow. The highlight must be the incredible multilayered peacock dress which seem to defy gravity and limits of imagination, which Schiaparelli keeps pushing beyond physics. And like birds use quantum physics to orient themselves according to the earth magnetic field, something scientists have succeeded to discover recently, so does Schiaparelli seem to rely on extraordinary forces to inspire and astonish. Merely days ahead of its Haute Couture Spring-Summer 2026 show, Schiaparelli has landed in China with Vendome-inspired boutique.. Following a pop-up in Shanghai in 2024, the French fashion house has opened its first permanent location in the region at Landmark Prince's building in Hong Kong, signaling confidence in the city's retail recovery amid growing investment in new developments and events.
Taking its cue from the brand's recent expansion of its shop-in-shop at London department store Harrods, the 1,700-square-foot space features a gold-and-black apartment-like interior conceived by Schiaparelli creative director Daniel Roseberry in collaboration with Stockholm-based architecture agency Halleroed. Inspired by the maison's historic headquarters at 21 Place Vendôme in Paris, the appointment-only space unfolds as a sequence of interconnected rooms with a Surrealist twist. The VIP dressing room looks like a living room, while jewels are displayed in a bathroom lined with gold mosaic tiles, complete with a solid gold toilet. Continue reading Schiaparelli's opening coincides with the $400 million renovation of Landmark, a premium shopping center complex in the Central business district that is owned and managed by developer Hongkong Land. |
