Hauter than thou

One last set of photos from the ElsaSchiaparelli exhibition at le musée des Arts décoratifs last November. These are from the post-Schiap era, designs by the guy running the place these days, Daniel Roseberry.

The thing that struck me was how in tune Roseberry is with the spirit of Schiaparelli. I mean, take a look:














They are every bit as fantastic—as in fantasy-like—as her creations. Things you might have a hard time wearing to the company Christmas do, but in which you just might be able to make it up the staircase at the Met Gala. If you walked very, very carefully.










Also: he designed the frock Lady Gaga wore at Joe Biden’s inauguration.


Props, man.
