Daniel Roseberry's Most Unique Schiaparelli Collection Is Designed for the Girls
Daniel Roseberry consistently focuses on women, but during the F/W 25 collection presented in Paris last night, it was his sole preoccupation. He even shared with reporters backstage that he imagined a scenario where a pandemic eliminated men completely. He pondered, if women inherited the world, what would they choose to wear? According to Roseberry, they would dress solely for themselves, which he believes should always be the case, regardless of the presence of men on Earth. His goal is to create attire that makes women feel both special and comfortable, which is why his brand has become one of the most popular on the red carpet recently. Women seek out Schiaparelli when they wish to navigate the world looking ethereal. Roseberry crafts extraordinary clothing that feels almost otherworldly, yet still allows movement in reality while giving an appearance of detachment from it. His designs make women feel their most divine selves, which is why they seem to float while wearing them. He has successfully captured the divine beauty of women using tulle, fringe, and gold, transforming these elements into wearable art.
Why opt for one belt when you can wear two, three, or even four? On the runway, belts took on an intriguing twist. Almost every model adorned more than one belt, with many showcasing three or more. This approach not only defined the silhouette of each outfit, accentuating the models' figures, but it also elevated the belt from a simple accessory to something exceptional. The buckles were bold and intricate, and multiple styles were worn simultaneously, often misaligned, creating a visually striking zigzag of leather and metal that cascaded down each torso. This exemplifies Roseberry's prowess: he takes reality and bends it slightly to forge something that feels both recognizable and uniquely distinct.
Old Hollywood was reinterpreted through an entirely feminine perspective. It’s hard to avoid associating Schiaparelli with Hollywood, especially since Roseberry is currently dressing a significant portion of it. However, this collection reexamines the masculine glamour of Old Hollywood for women. Roseberry designed suits with broad shoulders and sharply cinched waists, relaxed matching pant outfits in shimmering fabrics with tops unfastened to reveal glimpses of skin, and blazers crafted from fabrics so rich and luminous they appeared to glow from within. It’s as if he responded to the recent conversations about power suits by asserting, “Oh, you thought that was powerful?” These designs truly commanded attention.
A reminder that women seldom dress for men. In the show notes, Roseberry remarked, “My observations confirmed that the women I know rarely, if ever, dress for men. When they do get dressed up, it’s for other women, and it’s their admiration that counts.” Elsa, too, paid little heed to the male gaze: although she collaborated with several male artists, her creations weren't intended for their scrutiny. The success of Roseberry’s Schiaparelli stems from his ability to make a statement without altering history. The impact and vision of Elsa Schiaparelli are evident, yet it doesn’t feel overly reverent. Following her legacy, Roseberry continues to design surreal pieces for women who seek beauty that defies classical notions. They desire compliments mixed with curiosity about their attire. Above all, they aim to captivate. This collection achieved that with fabrics that shimmered, fur details that embraced, and silhouettes that delighted. It was not solely about looking beautiful, but about doing so in a manner that resists the constraints of conventional standards.
