Elsa Schiaparelli, a prominent Italian fashion designer, was known for her innovative designs and collaborations with artists such as Salvador Dalí and Jean Cocteau. She established the Schiaparelli fashion house in Paris in 1927 and oversaw its operations from the 1930s to the 1950s. Schiaparelli’s creations were influenced by Surrealism and featured vibrant colors, notably her signature “shocking pink.” She was a key figure in European fashion during the interwar period, rivaling Coco Chanel, and attracted high-profile clients like Daisy Fellowes and Mae West.
