Embrace the incomparable elegance of Schiaparelli’s 1930s evening wear with this covetable print available exclusively at the V&A.
Expertly printed on the highest quality paper, the print is supplied with a contrasting black mount to bring out the tones of the vintage black and white photograph taken by George Hoyningen. His model is captured in a stunning backless silver lamé gown made to complement the era's trend for tanning. Schiaparelli's designs often incorporated ‘poured in’ silhouettes, featuring dramatic, plunging backs and fluid metallic fabrics.
