Schiaparelli: Anglomaniac

A celebration of Elsa Schiaparelli’s enduring legacy through the works of British artists.

A multi-disciplinary and multi-generational group of British artists, photographers, illustrators and performers, have enthusiastically supported and contributed to the arrival of Daniel Roseberry at Schiaparelli. Inspired and influenced by his unique perspective and creativity, they are embracing this collaborative conversation between artists in the tradition of Elsa Schiaparelli, artists and other creatives are having conversations in the digital age. Bringing together close to fifty British artists from different eras, including historic photographers such as Cecil Beaton and Norman Parkinson, established artists like Nick Knight, Tim Walker and David Downton as well as Nadine Ijewere, Campbell Addy, Felix Cooper, Nadia Lee Cohen, Jack Davison, Tom Craig, Charlotte Wales and Harley Weir among others.

This book celebrates diversity, pluralistic beauty, the wit of some and the technical mastery of others. Daniel Roseberry’s unconventional approach allows each of us to immerse ourselves in the bustling energy of both street and popular culture, and into the dreamy world created by the exquisite haute couture craftmanship he has injected in the fashion house. Rather than dwelling on the past, Roseberry has propelled Schiaparelli into the future.

With a foreword by Dua Lipa, Schiaparelli Anglomaniac features an historical-critical essay by Thierry-Maxime Loriot and a text by Robin Muir about the historical collaborations between the house of Schiaparelli and Cecil Beaton. The book features many unpublished images and artworks recently discovered and published for the first time.
