Schiaparelli evening ensemble and headdress
1947
The photographer Horst P. Horst took several photographs of this legendary style from the Schiaparelli Spring 1947 Haute Couture collection.
This evening ensemble consisted of a black short full skirt worn with a fitted peplum-waist jacket in black crepe enhanced with a facing in shocking pink taffeta over-embroidered with black jet foliage. The facing continued at the back to finish in a big pouf bow. In the February 1947 issue of Vogue, it was described as “the quintessence of her design style”.
