What to know about Schiaparelli
Schiaparelli is a Paris haute couture house founded in 1927 by Italian designer Elsa Schiaparelli, celebrated for Surrealist collaborations with Dalí and Cocteau, trompe-l'oeil knitwear and shocking pink. Dormant after 1954, the maison was acquired by Italian entrepreneur Diego Della Valle in 2006-07 and relaunched from 21 Place Vendôme. Artistic director Daniel Roseberry, appointed in 2019, builds sculptural gilded-anatomy jewelry, corseted tailoring and viral red-carpet couture. CEO Delphine Bellini is scaling ready-to-wear, bags and shoes across roughly ten stores, including an expanded Bergdorf Goodman boutique in 2026.
