What is Schiaparelli known for?
1 Answer

Elsa Schiaparelli is known for transforming fashion from the late 1920s to the early ’50s with her work as a designer. Experimenting with elements like trompe l’oeil images and colorful visible zippers, the Italian designer instilled a provocative avant-garde artistry in her clothing and accessories, including those created with Salvador Dalí, such as the lobster dress and a hat shaped like a shoe. She was especially famous for producing pieces in her signature color, Shocking Pink. Find a selection of Elsa Schiaparelli apparel and accessories on 1stDibs.
