Description

Designer Elsa Schiaparelli remains one of the most extraordinary figures of the fashion world between the wars. Her eccentricity and wit, and the surrealist and baroque influences in her work, have often placed her in opposition to Chanel, her great rival. She shocked, amazed and stunned in a world where elegance rhymes with extravagance.
