Overview

  • Schiaparelli opened Paris Couture Week at the Petit Palais on July 7 with its Fall 2025 collection under Daniel Roseberry’s direction.
  • The “Back to the Future” theme fused Elsa Schiaparelli’s 1930s archival codes with futuristic motifs to reinvent the house’s surrealist legacy.
  • This season saw a deliberate move away from extreme corsetry toward freer, more elastic silhouettes that emphasize movement.
  • A live-crow entrance by Cardi B exemplified the show’s dramatic flair and became one of the week’s most talked-about moments.
  • Set against a Charles Worth exhibit, the presentation highlighted couture’s lineage and drew front-row stars like Dua Lipa, Hunter Schafer and Karol G, cementing Schiaparelli’s red-carpet relevance.
