Schiaparelli Spring Summer 2026 is a couture dreamscape — where imagination runs wild, structure meets emotion, and fashion becomes feeling rather than mere form. Creative director Daniel Roseberry centered this season around sensation, drawing inspiration from art and myth to create a collection that defies gravity and conventional beauty.

A Cinematic Couture Narrative

Rather than a literal story, Schiaparelli’s haute couture speaks through feeling. Roseberry referenced classic art — moments of agony and ecstasy, tension and release — and translated them into garments that feel alive. Couture becomes less about clothes and more about emotion.

Sculptural Silhouettes & Mythic Archetypes

• Scorpion tails, snake teeth, and hybrid forms emerge as structural motifs, creating an almost mythological energy.
• Infantas Terribles — bold figures that balance menace with beauty — embody the soul of the collection.
• Exaggerated volumes and dramatic silhouettes feel as if they’re mid-motion, suspended between worlds.

Hand-Crafted Fantasy Details

Each piece showcases couture mastery:

• 3D bas-relief lace and layered neon tulle give depth and dimensionality.
• Feathers hand-painted or dipped in resin and crystals add ethereal texture.
• Accessories bristle with surreal references — bird’s-head sculptures in silk feathers and resin beaks — evoking nature’s wonder without harm.

Color & Materials: Drama Meets Delight

The palette oscillates between vivid emotion and classic restraint:

• Vivid neons and bird-of-paradise colors add theatrical punch
• Deep blacks, ivory whites, and contrasting tones ground the fantasy in couture tradition.
• Embellished surfaces — crystals, organza spikes, layered silk — feel both otherworldly and meticulously handcrafted.
