Overview

• Schiaparelli launched Paris Couture Week AW25 at the Petit Palais with Cardi B holding a live crow, setting a surrealist tone for the event.
• Roseberry’s Fall 2025 ‘Back to the Future’ theme drew inspiration from Elsa Schiaparelli’s 1940 escape from Nazi-occupied Paris, expressed through stark black-and-white designs.
• The collection marked a departure from extreme corsetry in favor of more elastic, fluid silhouettes.
• Cardi B’s crow accompaniment prompted social media pushback over animal use and ethics in high fashion.
• Staged alongside a Charles Worth exhibition, the spectacle underscored Schiaparelli’s blend of heritage craft and commercial revival a decade after its relaunch.
