The Return of Schiaparelli

Vintage enthusiasts certainly know the name Elsa Schiaparelli but since the wonderfully playful designer closed her fashion house in 1954, she is a relative unknown to many. Fortunately, that all may be changing now that her brand is being resurrected with designer Marco Zanini at the helm. The house of Schiaparelli showed its first collection in 60 years yesterday at Couture Fashion Week. Have you guys checked it out yet? What did you think? I love that Zanini captured Schiaparelli's whimsical spirit. Here are some looks from yesterday's couture show paired with some of my Schiaparelli favorites from the past.
