Schiaparelli’s UpRoar at Fashion Week With a Controversial Triumph

The Year of the Rabbit ushered in Paris Fashion Week with a decidedly carnivorous twist, courtesy of Schiaparelli. The Italian house, founded by the surrealist designer Elsa Schiaparelli, once again captivated the world with its audacious and undeniably provocative couture collection.

Renowned for its witty and eccentric designs, Schiaparelli has maintained its position at the forefront of fashion, beloved by celebrities and connoisseurs alike. This season, however, the brand pushed the boundaries further than ever before. Hyperrealistic feline heads, crafted with meticulous attention to detail from foam, resin, wool, and other cruelty-free materials, adorned the chests of models, sparking immediate controversy.
