L&#39;OFFICIEL unveils the looks from Schiaparelli&#39;s SS23 Haute Couture show by Daniel Roseberry, as well as the designer&#39;s dantesque inspirations.

"Hell, Purgatory, Paradise: one cannot exist without the other. We are reminded that there is no paradise without hell, no joy without pain, no ecstasy of creation without the torture of doubt." It is from this affirmation that Daniel <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/hommes/daniel-roseberry-schiaparelli-fashion-designer-an-american-in-paris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Roseberry</a> , artistic director of Maison <a href="https://preview.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/schiaparelli-show-animals-haute-couture-spring-summer-2023-collections-photo-look" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Schiaparelli</a> , imagined the latest Haute Couture spring-summer 2023 collection . feels when faced with the blank page.

When I'm in crisis, I often console myself by thinking of Elsa Schiaparelli: the codes she created, the risks she took, are now part of history and legend, and yet she too had to be uncertain, even frightened, when she conceived them. His fear fueled his courage, which may seem absurd but is fundamental to the artistic process.

This is how this collection stands as a tribute to doubt . The doubt of creation and the doubt of intention. Roseberry has moved away from the usual codes that have made it so successful. Now he is venturing into bold new stylistic spaces. Naomi Campbell or Irina Shayk &mdash; alongside other models &mdash; appear as creatures of the forest . It features a leopard, a lion and a wolf, which represent lust , pride and greed respectively &mdash; taking shape in spectacular faux taxidermy creations, constructed entirely by hand from foam, resin and resin. other artificial materials.

Beyond these pieces as astonishing as they are frightening, we find hyper-stylized anatomical jewels , clothes that give pride of place to erasing the boundaries between the real and the unreal . Mimicry becomes a form of surrealism — a surrealism that has always been dear to Schiaparelli. Minerality, naturalness, illusionism: are we facing humans or facing devouring nature? Doubt invades us, like Daniel Roseberry at the start of each collection. There is only one way out: to let go of the show, embrace this turmoil and not be afraid to reconsider our beliefs.
