Discover the Schiaparelli SS26 — Spring/Summer 2026 — “The Agony and the Ecstasy” couture collection unveiled at Haute Couture Week in January 2026.
Creative Director Daniel Roseberry was inspired by an unexpected visit to the Sistine Chapel and a revelation of the feeling one experiences during moments of creation.
“That revelation informed every part of this collection. Sharp strokes and rapid squiggles became scorpion tails. I drew stingers and snake teeth, chimeraed archetypes of couture with venom woven inside their very silhouettes. I knew these reptilian/arachnid creatures, these “infantas terribles,” as I called them, would become the heroes of the collection, our ceiling: they’d be birds of flight, defying gravity, bold in color, explosive in silhouette.” – Daniel Roseberry
