Schiaparelli show: a haute couture western
Daniel Roseberry revisits the codes of the Wild West with a masterful Schiaparelli collection. Power and femininity meet in a grandiloquent wardrobe.
On March 6, during Paris Fashion Week, Schiaparelli unveiled an autumn-winter 2025-2026 collection. Called Lone Star, the show is an ode to powerful women. The show is inspired by the female figures who have marked the life of Texan designer Daniel Roseberry.
A sculptural, imposing wardrobe
In the hushed surroundings of Paris’ Musée d’Art Moderne, Gigi Hadid and the other models unveiled silhouettes that were both imposing and ultra-detailed. The cuts are architectural. Volumes are theatrical, and materials are unprecedentedly luxurious. Shearling, embossed velvet, trompe-l’œil crocodile scales and mirrored embroidery.
The outfits are reminiscent of modern armor. Not to fight a physical battle, but to embody inner strength and assertive well-being. Each piece seems designed to give confidence and poise, playing on a duality between robustness and delicacy.
Western influence: between tradition and modernity at Schiaparelli
Roseberry goes back to its Texan roots and incorporates emblematic Western elements: massive belts with engraved buckles, santiag-style boots, dynamic fringing on coats and metallic details on pockets. A nod to the heroines of the Far West, like Calamity Jane, revisited in an ultra-luxe aesthetic.
The designer pushes his quest for excellence even further, confiding, “I wanted to make things that could inspire and never be copied by fast fashion.” With this collection, Schiaparelli continues to assert its status as a house of exception, where art and fashion merge to create a powerful, indomitable femininity.
