Schiaparelli is at all times a highlight of the Couture calendar, because of Daniel Roseberry and his expansive, madcap collections. Last season, the designer paid tribute to the beasts of Dante’s The Divine Comedy with intricately crafted, hyper-realistic animal heads and pretend fur ensembles. In comparison with that, every thing was a bit of more lowkey this season. No Doja Cat covered in 30,000 red Swarovski crystals, no Kylie Jenner wearing a massive lion’s head, no...
