This cute hand-knitted sweater with a trompe-l’oeil bow was the piece that launched Elsa Schiaparelli’s fashion career.
She made the sweater for herself in 1927 and soon afterward wore it to a society luncheon where it caused quite the sensation. She soon received numerous requests from other attendees to make copies of the sweater available for purchase. Her business soon grew enough for her to open a salon. The rest is fashion history.

He is wearing a blue three-piece suit with a pinstripe vest and light blue tie, a mockingjay pin, like that Katniss wears, on the lapel of his jacket. He is looking to the side, with one eyebrow quirked.]

A breathtakingly sequined velvet evening cape entitled “Apollo of Versailles”, Schiaparelli, 1938.
“Nails also popped with a shade of deep evergreen, a custom color made for Gallagher by Color Club. Lead manicurist Fleury Rose painted a whopping 350 decals with the special shade and a matte top coat in advance of the show, and was furiously gluing them to models’ hands. The finishing touch was a gilt border around the nails, which Rose referred to as “picture framing.”
As much as I dislike Valentines Day (and everything it stands for) I couldn’t resist lining up an extraordinarily beautiful theme for your viewing pleasure.
