Schiaparelli spring-summer 2025: divine flight
On January 27, Daniel Roseberry unveiled Schiaparelli’s spring-summer 2025 haute couture collection at the Petit Palais, a symbolic venue for a poetic tribute to the roots and aspirations of couture.
Schiaparelli chose the prestigious setting of the Petit Palais, a masterpiece of the Paris Universal Exhibition, to open Haute Couture Week. A choice that reflects Artistic Director Daniel Roseberry’s quest to reconcile couture’s glorious past with a modern, airy vision.
A parade bathed in light and symbols
Under a light filtered by the January weather, the gold plates on the floor illuminated the graceful silhouettes of the models, including Kendall Jenner and Mona Tougaard. The palette of powdery tones – sand, butter, gold – reinforced the timeless, soothing atmosphere. Inspired by masters such as Madame Grès, Worth and Poiret, Daniel Roseberry revisits the golden age of haute couture while celebrating sculptural audacity.
A tribute to French legends and know-how
Lyon, once the epicenter of exceptional ribbons and fabrics, is at the heart of this collection. Roseberry borrows aged nuances from historic ornaments to inscribe them in a sculptural modernity. Exuberant basques, delicate corsets and floating décolletés reflect a desire to push back the limits of the body and transform models into divine figures. Each silhouette resonates like an ode to emblematic decades, from Madame Grès’s 1930s to the creations ofYves Saint Laurent and Alaïa.
Couture that looks to the past and the future
The Schiaparelli show doesn’t just look back; it transcends heritage by instilling an assertive nostalgia, akin to the story of Icarus, trying to reach the sun without getting burned. Combining technical mastery with poetic sensibility, Daniel Roseberry affirms Schiaparelli’s place as a pillar of contemporary haute couture, where past and future intertwine harmoniously.
