EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning half-length coat designed by the iconic Italian fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli, dates back to 1937. The coat is made in a rich, carbon blue color and is intricately embroidered with black soutache, a type of braid used for trimming and decoration. The skirt of the coat complements the top half with its similar blue hue. The coat is accessorized with a very flat braid-trimmed beret, faced with a brilliant red color, adding a pop of contrast and playfulness to the overall look. The gloves, also in blue, complete the autumnal ensemble. Elsa Schiaparelli was a pioneering figure in the fashion industry, known for her avant-garde designs and collaborations with artists such as Salvador Dalí. Her work challenged traditional fashion norms and pushed the boundaries of what was considered fashionable. The use of embroidery and bold colors in this coat exemplify Schiaparelli's innovative approach to design. The carbon blue and black combination, along with the red accents, create a sophisticated and eye-catching look that is both timeless and modern. This photograph, taken by Illustrated London News Ltd and featuring the model Mary Evans, captures the essence of Schiaparelli's design aesthetic and the allure of her creations during the 1930s. The coat is a testament to the designer's ability to create garments that are not only beautiful but also thought-provoking and memorable.
