Schiaparelli’s show once again dominated fashion week conversations, becoming one of the most talked-about and analysed moments of the season.
More than clothes, Schiaparelli presented images. Sculpted bodies, surrealism, artistic references and pieces that challenge conventional visual comfort reaffirmed the maison’s role as a space where fashion and art merge. In a market increasingly driven by data, fast sales and easily replicable trends, the show served as a reminder that luxury is also narrative, provocation and cultural memory.
The impact lies not only in what is worn, but in what is felt — and in what remains after the lights go out.
More than a runway show, this moment confirms that true luxury does not compete for attention: it creates images the world cannot ignore.
In a time when fashion is expected to be sellable, immediate and easily understood, is there still room for discomfort, excess and astonishment as legitimate forms of creative power?
