Schiaparelli is a name heard around the world! Why? You will find the explanation in her book of memoirs, original in both form and content. Elsa Schiaparelli marked a whole era in fashion. The adventurous life of Schiap, as she called herself, is woven into the history of haute couture. Her work combined classicism, eccentricity and wit. Each of her collections was a sensation, nothing was impossible for her. She was the first to create a boutique, the first to enlist artists such as Jean Cocteau, Christian Berard and Salvador Dalí to help inspire her, the first to turn an ordinary fashion show into a colorful, festive show and the first to lay the foundations for what would later be called pret-a-porter. This book is as much Elsa's creation as her models, labeled "Skiap" as everything she did. The big artist tells us about her hopes and ambitions, her successes and failures, her loves, dislikes and inner struggles. The book is illustrated with works by famous artists and photographers. Foreword by Alexander Vasiliev.
