Arte has a nice little documentary about Elsa Schiaparelli that you can watch online: https://www.arte.tv/fr/videos/058387-000-A/et-schiaparelli-crea-la-mode/ (if you get geoblocked, use a VPN blocker). It's in French or German because it's Arte, but there are English subtitles available (click...

Get the Look: Elsa Schiaparelli Wit, innovation, transformation, freedom, defiance, chic—and shock. How many of us would dare to take fashion inspiration from the most iconoclastic of designers? Elsa Schiaparelli was born in Rome in 1890. A defiant girl from the start, she ran away from home at...

Did everybody see Lady Gaga's dove brooch at the Inauguration? So amazing!

I am a HUGE fan of Schiaparelli and was interested when this turned up on Facebook with the caption - "A young Peggy Guggenheim wearing a cellophane dress designed by Schiaparelli, Paris, circa 1930." Guggenheim devoted her life to championing the avant-garde world of art – a principle which...

Hello all, I had the wonderful luck of purchasing some Schiaparelli purses, I have done a little research but still having difficulty, I have seen one label in the label resource which looks identical from a late 50s sweater. The style of the purse looks earlier, possibly 40s to me so was...

Hello everybody, my name is Chara and i'm gonna be brutally honest with you guys. When i saw this jacket at the thrift shop, i had to buy it immediately ! I also saw the schiaparelli labels on your site and unfortunately mine doesn't match with anyone, so i guess this jacket is a fake :( (and...

I enjoy the work of Else Schiaparelli and knew that she worked in collaboration with Salvador Dali. I also have seen several of her pieces using a lobster in the design. But I did not know that this telephone by Dali is what inspired her lobster work.

Apparently Schiaparelli made a line of clothing called "Scaps" for working women in the 1930s according to this website : http://bittywing.tumblr.com/page/5 Other than that I couldn't find anything else about the line nor could I find a similar label. Any more info would be greatly...

hi Everyone, The lining has "Paris" and "Schiaparelli" insignia on it but no other label other than the store one....wondering if this is rabbit or dyed beaver? thinking 1960s....it's the closest match in the label resource? Thanks for any input. Lauren

Matthew shared with me these two images of Schiaparelli outfits with her extraordinary buttons. These were from a show in Paris. Then I found the buttons below on the excellent site of the MET'S Schiaparelli Collection. (The ONLY thing that really creeps me out is a cricket - snakes and...

I acquired this black nylon robe, labeled Schiaparelli, as part of an estate consisting of quality vintage garments, including several designer dresses. At first, I believed the label to be correct, but upon closer inspection, it appears it has been added or resewn into the robe. 'Schiaparelli'...

Hello Everyone! Had an amazing weekend thrifting. Have searched for a directory of Schiaparelli headwear and am defeated trying to find this hat. The label appears to be 1950's? How can this style be described? There is also a small worn spot where the felt has been pulled but not a through and...

Hi! Was wondering if you could help out with dating a lovely Schiaparelli knit beaded dress and coat? Many Thanks! Tina

I'm just in the learning stages regarding vintage hats. What can you tell me about this one. It has a cloth Schiaparelli Paris label like the 1950's hat label in the VFG library. The body is stamped Imported body, Milady, Made in the United States. This seems contradictory to me....an...

If you missed the Schiaparelli exhibit in Philadelphia in 2003, you'll want to plan to see next year's exhibit of Schiaparelli and Prada at the Met Costume Institute. The exhibit will run May 10 - August 19, 2012...

I stupidly bought a hat on Ebay seconds before the auction was finished, and so didn't have time to look at the details. It is black leather with a wide black rabbit fur brim. Inside it has a cream and pink Schiaparelli Paris label but underneath the black grosgrain tape there is another label...

<img src=http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/suestuff/schiaparelli.jpg> This is a vintage sample (only partially full) bottle of Shocking Schiaparelli. It's about 1 1/2 inches tall. Do you think it is worth listing? Sue

I recently found these earrings at a thrift store. They are signed Schiaparelli on the back. I wondered if you could give me an approximate date. I read that she designed mostly in the 30s - 50s but some pieces were designed in her name in the 70s as well. Thanks for your help! See below for...

just found these, aren't they cool!

Hi, I went and looked at the labels that Hollis directed me to and I can't find the one that is in my coat but the "script" that it is written in looks more like the 50's and 60's. I'm sorry I was so mistaken. It is a beautiful swing style coat with white mink around the collar and around the...

So I have this Schiaparelli collar and cuff set: The tag has the same "font" as the 1940's dress label I researched on the site, but I was wondering if anyone knew for sure the approximate age. I have searched all over for collar/cuff sets by her and haven't found a thing. Any help...
