    Schiaparelli's Inspirations

    I enjoy the work of Else Schiaparelli and knew that she worked in collaboration with Salvador Dali. I also have seen several of her pieces using a lobster in the design. But I did not know that this telephone by Dali is what inspired her lobster work.

    Appropriate Schiaparelli label for 1950s robe?

    I acquired this black nylon robe, labeled Schiaparelli, as part of an estate consisting of quality vintage garments, including several designer dresses. At first, I believed the label to be correct, but upon closer inspection, it appears it has been added or resewn into the robe. 'Schiaparelli'...

    Schiaparelli Hat

    I'm just in the learning stages regarding vintage hats. What can you tell me about this one. It has a cloth Schiaparelli Paris label like the 1950's hat label in the VFG library. The body is stamped Imported body, Milady, Made in the United States. This seems contradictory to me....an...

    Fake Schiaparelli?

    I stupidly bought a hat on Ebay seconds before the auction was finished, and so didn't have time to look at the details. It is black leather with a wide black rabbit fur brim.

    Black Lamb Schiaparelli Coat

    Hi, I went and looked at the labels that Hollis directed me to and I can't find the one that is in my coat but the "script" that it is written in looks more like the 50's and 60's. I'm sorry I was so mistaken. It is a beautiful swing style coat with white mink around the collar and around the...
