Schiaparelli artistic director, Daniel Roseberry, describes the haute couture collection for spring summer 2022 as a surreal escape from the harsh realities of the past years. Recalling the heavens as an escape from our planet, the Schiaparelli woman is one who "defies rules of gravity. She would wear razor sharp tailoring, with nipped waists and oversized 'dove' collars ready to take flight."
"Designing this [haute couture] collection also made me realize something else. There are designers who design because they love clothes. There are designers who make clothes because they love the craft, because they love people. There are designers whose work is indebted to fashion as a concept, or to glamour as a business. But I design in order to make people feel something."
