הרצאה בעברית
From skeleton dresses to lobster hats - Italian designer Elsa Schiaparelli turned the exploration of the subconscious, madness, and beauty into part of her design signature. How did she challenge the world she lived in, what was the secret of her charm, and how does she still influence today?
About:
A dream journey following the Italian designer Elsa Schiaparelli and her unique imprint on the fashion world. Her fantastic and bewitching designs shook the world in the decade between the two great world wars and continue to be a source of inspiration for fashion designers today.
Schiaparelli was influenced by the surrealist movement, the preoccupation with the subconscious and dreams, and the beauty of the irrational. Together with Salvador Dali, she created groundbreaking fashion: from a skeleton dress to the famous stiletto hat and a dress decorated with a giant lobster. How did the Italian designer get to the cutting edge of French couture? What is the difference between her and the fashion house that bears her name today? And what does it all have to do with Lady Gaga, Cardi B, Kim Kardashian, and Beyoncé?
