Daniel Roseberry's Schiaparelli Shifts to Free Expression

Daniel Roseberry's Fall 2025 collection for Schiaparelli marked a shift away from extreme corsetry and body manipulation, embracing a freer exploration of the body inspired by Elsa Schiaparelli's restless spirit. The show was set in stark contrast, with cinematic moods and unexpected techniques defining gowns and jackets. Roseberry drew inspiration from 1940s Paris, when Schiaparelli fled Nazi-occupied France for New York, and reimagined archival codes with a focus on the future. The collection featured undulating dresses, impossibly engineered shapes, and kinetic sculptures, showcasing couture as an ideas factory that remains vital despite the rise of AI and fast fashion.
