Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art at the Victoria and Albert Museum is a reminder of how far fashion can go when it fully embraces imagination. The house’s work has always sat at the edge of fashion and art, turning clothing into something closer to surreal objects of expression than simple garments.
What makes Schiaparelli continue to feel relevant is the way it treats fashion as a visual language. There is always an element of surprise, but also a strong sense of craft, symbolism and cultural reference beneath the surface.
The exhibition runs until November 3rd, making it a timely stop for anyone interested in the meeting point between fashion history and contemporary creativity.
It is exactly the kind of show that makes you think about fashion less as something to wear and more as something to experience.
