In Paris, Fashion Week is in full swing, during which the House of 

Schiaparelli

presented a new couture collection for spring-summer 2023. Traditionally, the creative director of the brand, Daniel Roseberry, decided to shock the audience and customers, because the models appeared on the catwalk in luxurious, but quite shocking images, in which heads were used animals: lion, leopard and wolf.

According to the designer's idea, in this way he wanted to make a reference to the "Divine Comedy" by Dante Alighieri, where the leopard, lion and wolf represent the greatest vices of man: lust, pride and greed.

The lion, leopard and wolf were embroidered by hand, and their base is made of foam, artificial leather and fur, silk and also hand painted to give the product as realistic a look as possible, which should show the beauty of these creatures.

Already traditionally, images of heavy black velvet, "naked" dresses, gold details, voluminous sloping shoulders, corsets with decor, many things embroidered with beads and sequins, as well as shoes in the form of toes were shown on the catwalk.

Many of the designs of the items are a reference to the outfit that the founder of the brand,

Elsa Schiaparelli

, once invented .
