| Back view of Look #11 (Schiaparelli Showroom) |
In-house designed collections have become the
norm lately, when houses are in trasition from one creative director to
another. Most critics do not give in-house teams the best support or accolades
for trying their hand in creating a vision for certain collections, but I must
hand it off to the team at Schiaparelli for turning out a positivly, wearable,
and beautiful collection. They met the stanards of creativness and
wearablity, while remaining true to the herritage of the house. For Spring
2015, the house focused on Schiaparelli's surrealism in whimsical prints, and
trop l'oiel. Silhouettes where calmer than Zanini's previous collections, they
became softer and wearable. There was no lack of color and charm, but this
collection overall had more "elegance" and a commercial appeal that
can take this brand into more couture client's closets. A stand out look, and
personal favorite was look #11, a bias cut emerald green dress, with a
necklace, released at the back with a shadown print of hands, a must have for
any colector.
