The exhibition dives deep into the world of Elsa Schiaparelli, bringing together over 200 pieces—from iconic garments to rare archival works. Visitors can explore legendary designs like the Lobster Dress and Skeleton Dress, created in collaboration with surrealist artist Salvador Dalí, highlighting the deep connection between fashion and fine art.

What makes this exhibition even more compelling is its bridge between past and present. Alongside historic pieces, modern designs by creative director Daniel Roseberry showcase how the brand continues to evolve while staying true to its bold, avant-garde identity.
