First of all I wanted to mention that Schiaparelli is one of the few brand that everyone who will look at a piece or a collection will say that it’s beautiful. And it doesn’t matter if that person has a big expertise and understanding in fashion or watches the first show in their life and I think this is really remarkable for a brand to achieve. I think the theme of godesses is really fitting for the situation with the virus right now because it shows how bad the situation really is. Even literal godesses have to get down to the people to solve this situation. I also think it’s interesting for Daniel to only use three colors and even though only using such a limited amount of colors, two of them being monochromatic, being able to achieve such a feeling of opulence. And with Schiaparelli it’s good opulence you don’t feel cringed out when watching these pieces you are more of in a state of amazement. They use gold in such a different way which is not comparable with brands like Versace or dolce gabana in my opponion. I hope you understood what I meant with my texts and it made sense somehow. Please excuse my englisch it’s really not the best🙏

Never too late to take about either Schiaparelli or Roseberry. Brilliant concept and execution. Art in fashion.

I really love analyzing this through the lens of sci fi. The austere, the surreal, the oppulent and the ordained are themes that seem to scream through this show. They're all feelings evoked by the universe and our own exploration of it. I love that a dress can make me feel the same way as I do looking out at distant constellations. I'm seeing something that's other worldly, but not unknowable. Roseberry's killing it. These dresses feel like they were created in a flash of light, as a result of a chemical reaction (or maybe just the will of the goddess herself). The structures aren't exactly INorganic, but they aren't from any sort of organic process that we're familiar with on earth. The result is an otherworldlieness that doesn't feel too far from home, from our own years of discipline and struggle. This is clearly the wardrobe of a cosmic being, but one who may be more similar to us than it seems. What a brilliant show, and a brilliant analysis Bliss!

Daniel is one of those (like margiela, rick owens, demna, CCP, vivienne westwood and etc) that reminds me each WHY im obsessed with the art of fashion and why i should still pursue a career in fashion, despite how hard/challenging it can be

Thank you for reading show notes. I can’t believe how many shows I’ve looked at without having the preparation and framing of the artist’s intent and their personal, emotional relationship to the show.

The segment from 8:05-8:57 about the sci fi references and supreme gargantuan-ness is so spot on and why I loved this collection

Daniel Roseberry is my favorite fashion illustrator. His drawings are as a surreal and beautiful as the garments he designs and, in my opinion, is what allows him to conceptualize a lot of the crazy looks he puts together

ending with "temperance" is fitting -the show notes mention the high priestess. both archetypes of the tarot

Love how outlandish and imaginative these are. Stupendous.

6:56...That's me in a nutshell...I LOVE Schiaparelli!

The image at 4:54 reminds me of the ballet costumes of Oskar Schlemmer.

Love
With ALLLLL OF HIS GENIUS

i love your runway analyses cuz without them i wouldn't know anything abt what was going on LMAO i love your content sm it is super helpful for someone like me who is just getting into fashion <3

I just love Schiaparelli. I wish there was a larger presence to shop the brand in my area. The pieces are both creative and gorgeous, which can be hard to find together in fashion.

Daniel listened to Planet Her while designing this

I thought this video was really great. My knowledge of the world of fashion is limited to the streetwear influenced end predominantly, so find the haute couture and womenswear stuff super informative. I think you are absolutely correct about the lack of a pageant of freedom to mark the end of the pandemic... Sliding quietly out with the spectre of COVID still looming large leaves a lot to be desired.

Thought + question ->

Daniel’s work makes me think about the relationship between “big picture” and “small detail” ideas… I see a difficult push/pull relationship between over-intricacy and pertinent fulfillment of your ideas (worrying too much ab detail and not focusing on the big idea or vice versa)… but dammit they nailed it

How do you think aspiring designers could improve their own ability at this?

I loved the complete flip from hope, joy and bright colours. To black, Jaded, scepticism and sharp points 🙃🖤

Thank you so much for doing another episode on Schiaparelli!

I’ve recently read Caroline Evans’ article about Elsa Schiaparelli’s work where the author describes inter-war Paris as “shifting, insecure and rootless, a time without depth when meaning could be read off surfaces”, which I think is certainly conveyed with the Roseberry’s “tempered opulence” that appears as a result of the new instabilities that occurred with the pandemic.
But I think it is also worth considering how although Elsa Schiaparelli tended to reconstruct female identity on the surface of the body, she still didn’t aim to present the one unified identity. Rather, she introduced the idea of an undetermined and heterogeneous subject that is a woman, encompassing all of her ‘roles’ in society, which I believe is again repeated and reflected in Roseberry’s different embodiments of one goddess; one woman.

omg the joy i felt when i saw this video love ur runway analysis and looooved this collection
