Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art The Official V&A Exhibition Book
Published to accompany the landmark exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum, this lavish volume celebrates the irreverent genius of Elsa Schiaparelli—hailed by Cristóbal Balenciaga as the "only real artist in couture." Featuring rich archival photography and curated insights, the book traces Elsa's audacious visual dialogue with Surrealism and her iconic collaborations with contemporaries such as Jean Cocteau, Salvador Dalí, Man Ray, and Alberto Giacometti. From the provocative Lobster Dress and ground-breaking culottes to Daniel Roseberry’s breathtaking contemporary couture, this monograph traces the indelible shocking-pink thread connecting historic avant-garde art with modern high fashion.
