SCHIAPARELLI, A SPORTSWEAR HERITAGE
In 1927, Elsa Schiaparelli launched her brand with a hand-knitted jumper decorated with a trompe-l'œil motif, which was an instant success around the world - American Vogue even described it as a "masterpiece". She then decided to launch a collection of hand-knitted jumpers, hand-knitted coats and hand-knitted skirts, which she called "Schiaparelli for sports". For the designer, sportswear meant practical, casual and versatile styles that could be worn for social occasions once accessorized.
Almost a century later, Daniel Roseberry, Artistic Director of Schiaparelli, has no hesitation in revisiting this sportswear heritage with ever more daring and singular creations, of which our sneaker is the latest.
Season after season, Schiaparelli continues to enrich its range of accessories to complete the silhouette of the Schiaparelli woman. After the now cult bags - the Secret, the Anatomy Jewelry bag and, more recently, the Schiap - and a collection of shoes featuring the Maison's codes, revealed for the Fall-Winter 2023 ready-to-wear collection, the collections now have their sneakers.
