Elsa Schiaparelli 1890-1973

"Women dress alike all over the world: they dress to be annoying to other women"

Elsa Sciaparelli

Elsa Schiaparelli brought animal prints, shoulder pads and zippers dyed to match surrounding fabrics into the fashion world. Schiaparelli was famous for her hat designs, most famously hats in the shapes of shoes. She was also one of the first designers to coin her own color: shocking pink.
