The Schiaparelli couture show in Paris captured the essence of fashion as an escape from reality. Attendees, dressed in opulent attire, gathered in a surreal atmosphere, embodying a break from convention. Artistic director Daniel Roseberry expressed a desire for attendees to feel transported, even if just briefly. The designs, such as a high-neck lace top adorned with enamel flowers, echoed a narrative of beauty and elegance as responses to a harsher world, challenging the notion that fashion can sometimes feel out of touch with reality's pressing issues.
All I really want is to suspend the weight of reality, Daniel Roseberry, Schiaparelli's artistic director, said backstage before his show. I hope people are transported, even if just for 10 minutes.
Designers love to talk about beauty and elegance as their Band-Aid for the ills of the world; a panacea for the eyes, made to offset a reality that can be harder to see.
