Daniel Roseberry Tours Schiaparelli's Most Iconic Pieces | Vogue

In this video, Chioma Nnadi (Head of Editorial Content at British Vogue) and Daniel Roseberry (Creative Director of Schiaparelli) tour the Victoria and Albert Museum's exhibition, Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art. Together, they explore the house's storied history, from Elsa Schiaparelli's revolutionary origins to modern couture masterpieces.

Key Highlights from the Exhibition:

• The Origins of Schiaparelli (0:28 - 1:45): They discuss Elsa Schiaparelli's first garment, the Trompe l'oeil sweater (1927), which launched her career and cemented her reputation for disruptive design. The section highlights her pioneering contributions, such as inventing visual merchandising and the first unisex fragrance.
• The Gold Collection (1:46 - 2:53): A look at a dramatic, gold-embroidered cape that marks a fusion of archival inspiration—specifically Apollo motifs from Versailles—with modern digital-age aesthetics.
• Modern Couture & Art (2:54 - 4:09): Nnadi and Roseberry examine a dress from the Purgatorio collection, which turned anatomical brushstrokes into a complex, hand-embroidered 3D puzzle, representing the epitome of modern couture.
• The Iconic Matador Jacket (4:10 - 5:52): A deep dive into the technical craftsmanship of the Fall/Winter 2021 jacket, highlighting the balance between archival embroidery and a contemporary, 'pop-star' sensibility.
• Accessories & Provocation (5:53 - 7:34): The pair discusses Elsa's famous shoe hat and the house's philosophy of using surrealist displacement to provoke rather than just beautify. Roseberry also details the custom ruby-red dress designed for Ariana Grande.
• Surrealist Collaborations (7:35 - 9:50): A spotlight on the legendary Lobster Dress created in collaboration with Salvador Dalí, and a stunning coat designed with Jean Cocteau.
• Venomous Beauty & The Future (9:51 - 12:45): Roseberry explores recent collections, including pieces inspired by the poet David Whyte’s meditation on anger, and the Schiaparellion spring 2024 look—a 'couture stuffed animal' featuring recycled electronics and motherboard components inspired by the film Aliens.
