After many speculations, suppositions and assumptions, 

Marco Zanini , who, with mastered sophistication, has put Rochas back on the map of the runways of which people talk about, has been appointed creative director at Elsa Schiaparelli. 

Congratulations! Another Italian at the elm of couture wonders.

After being dormant for over half a century, if was awaken from her own Parisian ashes with 'Impossible Conversations', the exhibit of NY city’s MET Costume Institute. 

Acquired by Tod’s Monsieur and Maitre D’ Diego Della Valle, it surged to couture glory with a one-of-a-kind collaboration with Christian Lacroix  during Couture Week last July. It was a dream that only the few and elected were able to admire. The pieces will be retired in the archives, not sold nor produced for anyone. 

It was a struck of love. Heart lifting to see art in the form on fashion manifested. 

Diego Della Valle has his own dreams set and realized. Same way he dressed half Europe, from royals, to elite to all the wanna-bees in between, with his car shoe. Similarly he paired Roger Vivier with muse Ines de la Fressange and made it covetable. He’s at it now with Schiaparelli and Farida Khelfa. 

In the spirit of Elsa

The most exclusive, expensive, exquisite collection in the world, as Della Valle confesses his dream. Coming from a Shocking Life of not knowing anything about fashion, sewing, knitting but just having that individual mix of exquisite taste and artistic penchant that resulted in what is now a legacy. 

'Dresses that are truly beautiful, they are never unfashionable' is what she believed in and from a princesse dormant we can’t wait to see Schiap as a new debutante.

From the inventor of the shoulder pads, animalier and shocking pink to us, again.
