Little Book of Schiaparelli

Little Book of Schiaparelli chronicles the work of one of history's most
influential and eccentric couturiers. Endowed with a strikingly imaginative
and experimental approach to fashion, Elsa Schiaparelli cultivated a
combination of the witty and the surreal, the cutting edge and the elegant,
from her garments and jewellery to her collaborations with Salvador Dalí, Jean
Cocteau and Alberto Giacometti.

Exquisitely illustrated and expertly written, the book follows a biographical
chronology detailing her life, career and primary creative themes of her work.
Images of Schiaparelli's finished designs, along with close-up details and
illustrations of her personal sketches, showcase the brilliance of her
innovative oeuvre, and the legacy that lives on in the House of Schiaparelli
to this day.
