January 23 was declared Schiaparelli Day, as the creative director of the brand Daniel Roseberry opened couture week at Paris Fashion Week to showcase what they have in store for Spring/Summer 2023.

Before the main show, guests were already dressed up for the the red carpet. Reality TV star Kylie Jenner arrived in a Schiaparelli SS23 velvet dress with a lionā€™s face.

Irina Shayk also walked the runway in the same dress as Jenner, who was sitting in the front row.

Award-winning musician Dota Cat was the star of the red carpet in an all-red Schiaparelli outfit.

She wore a red silk faille bustier, a hand-knit skirt of lacquered wooden beads and trompe lā€™Å“il toe boots. The American rapper was covered in 30 000 crystals from head to toe, which took four hours to put on.

Back at the fashion show, Roseberry brought Elsa Schiaparelliā€™s memory to live when he featured animals such as lions, a leopard, and a wolf to represent lust, pride, and avarice in Danteā€™s iconic allegory.

All the animals spotted on the runway were not real. They were hand sculpted.

ā€œThe animals are one of the four literal references that I took from Danteā€™s ā€˜Infernoā€™. In the first cycle of Danteā€™s journey, he faces terrors. He confronts a lion, a leopard, and a she-wolf. They each represent different things. But the lion and the animals are there as a photorealistic approaching of surrealism and trompe lā€™oeil in a different way.ā€

His creativity was immense as he presented quilted coats, engraved earrings with Schiaparelliā€™s face, hourglass corsets with pleated skirts, gemstone detailing, metallic bags and so much more.

The Schiaparelli fashion show took place at the Petit Palais, musƩe des Beaux-arts de la Ville de Paris.
