Haute Couture fashion week spring and summer 2024

Schiaparelli brand

Author: Nasim Puyansab

The fascinating and exciting haute couture fashion week started with a stunning show from the Schiaparelli brand.

Daniel Roseberry, the creative director of the Schiaparelli fashion house, again paid tribute to the surreal thoughts of the creator of the brand; But this time with the seasoning of space and astronauts!

For this collection, Raspberry went to Elsa's family discoveries. Elsa Schiaparelli's uncle, as an astronomer in 1877, was the first to study about the planet Mars and coined the term “Mars”.

Raspberry's genius in this collection created wonderful contrasts. In this collection, he used the traditional and old techniques of embroidery and applique against the world of technology, motherboards and mobile phones as decorations on clothes and even in the shape of a baby. Seeing these Lukes and that baby, it seems that a question was formed in Daniel Raspberry's mind:

“Has technology taken over our lives?”

Daniel Rasberry, who uses innate intelligence and artistry, has gone to the prestigious archive of the Schiaparelli brand for the spring and summer 2024 haute couture collection. He recreated Elsa's skeleton dress in 1938 and recreated Elsa Schiaparelli's black shirt with white crocheted collar.

Daniel even made a clever reference to his spring/summer 2021 collection with a symbolic baby made from a motherboard.

Among other notable and prominent points of this show was the presence of suits with very broad shoulders. According to critics, these suits were a tribute to the creator of the women's suit, Yves Saint Laurent; Of course, with the difference that Yves Saint Laurent created a revolution in the fashion industry with the women's tuxedo, and Daniel Raspberry has created a double attraction by using the Proportion technique – mixing the proportions of the clothes such as very broad shoulders – and combining it with the style of surrealism.

Breaking the boundaries and linking fashion with its precious history reminds the audience and enthusiasts of the power of fashion and the couture industry.
