Description

Born in Rome in 1890, Elsa Schiaparelli set up her first atelier in Paris in 1922. As one of the most extraordinary personalities of fashion between the world wars, her eccentric character, fiery temper, and sense of humor came to life in her surrealistic and baroque creations. This book presents the story of Schiaparelli's dazzling effect on haute couture. 60 illustrations.
