LOOKS 1-4 / 36 VIEW MORE MEASURING TAPE Elsa Schiaparelli’s simple measuring tape makes a poignant impact over the years. Elsa Schiaparelli’s iconic measuring tape has long been a signature emblem of the Maison. Her omnipresent tool, significant in Schiaparelli’s work with Haute Couture, first appeared in her creations in 1937 on the bottle of her “Shocking” perfume. Under the helm of Daniel Roseberry, the significance of the measuring tape persists in the spirit of Schiaparelli, often with a trompe l’oeil twist. The tool is seen as the gilded embossed frame for leather goods, lining the edges of classic coin purses to impeccably crafted handbags. In other instances, the measuring tape takes form in embellishing and elevating the finite features of clothing, tracing the lapel of a jacket to show off the piece’s cut, or encircle the collar of the blouse, trailing down its attached ties. In classic Schiaparelli form, the ordinary measuring tape is exalted into a clever code while defining the exquisite detail that has been synonymous with Schiaparelli for generations. THE MEASURING TAPE SELECTION 1-4 / 14 BODY PART JEWELRY The artistic relationship of Elsa Schiaparelli and Salvador Dalí comes to life through figural bijoux. Surrealism in jewelry has long had a rich history within Maison Schiaparelli, and has now been interpreted through the daring eye of Daniel Roseberry. As an homage to artist Salvador Dalí’s deeply collaborative relationship with Elsa Schiaparelli, there is the gilded “Lips” bracelet, a plump mouth that dresses the naked wrist. The piece is an ode to Dalí’s fascination with lips, a feature that he famously used to create a sofa in 1935. Dalí referenced lips throughout his art, inspiring Schiaparelli’s own designs, as well. Other body parts have also been cleverly translated into figural bijoux : - Warm gilded nipples are now intended to be worn as earrings and brooches. - Finger and toe caps, dreamy with their lifelike features, are made to elegantly slide over the hands and feet. - And in classic surrealist form, a nose acts as a glamorous escape from its intended meaning and is worn as a head-turning earring. THE BODY PART JEWELRY SELECTION 1-4 / 10 ASTROLOGY JEWELRY Schiaparelli’s love for the heavens lives on in an ethereal collection of zodiac jewelry. Even from a young age, it was evident that Elsa Schiaparelli was destined to see life through an otherworldly lens. As a child, her uncle, Giovanni Schiaparelli, a renowned astronomer, would let her gaze through his telescope and observe the boundless cosmos. Later, the designer used her longtime love for celestial bodies as the theme for her famed Zodiac collection of winter 1938-1939. She introduced the iconic Zodiac jacket that boasted a galaxy of micro-beaded constellations, gold-threaded planets, and 12 rhinestone-framed glyphs for each astrological sign. Schiaparelli’s luminary universe is now translated into the world of bijoux. From Leo (a prowling lion) to Sagittarius (a centaur-archer aiming his bow), the zodiac signs come to life in a rich offering of gilded necklaces, rings, and earrings.
