She wrote book of poetry in her early teens. Was also sent to a convent but swiftly returned back to her parents home because she would not conform. Elsa Schiaparelli was one of the most influential clothing designers of the 20th Century - - moved back & forth several times to Paris - opened her own haute-couture fashion houses (Paris on Rue de la Paix - 1927 and also London). Her styles & various creations ran the gamut from sportswear to sweaters etc etc - her creations were adored by followers - in her early years her 'jewelry' design inspirations from surrealism & love of colored rhinestones & other adornments were astonishing. She eventually came to New York - - it is well-known that Pierre Cardin (and Givenchy, too) trained with Elsa Schiaparelli. The actual production of her items ended in the 1950's - this great dame died in the 1970's. Elsa Schiaparelli jewelry is highly sought-after, it's extremely great quality, and remains widely collectible throughout the world. As collectors worth their salt already know, any decent costume jewelry collection includes some fabulously ornate, exquisitely well-made Elsa Schiaparelli stunner rhinestone pieces ! Also interesting about Elsa was the fact that her great-uncle was Giovanni Schiaparelli (he discovered the canals of planet Mars). Elsa Schiaparelli was well-known for black knit sweaters with a white bowtie patterns sewn in - Elsa had a flair for the unusual - she commissioned Dalí to design fabrics which ended up as a new fashion-style ( white dress with lobster print). Schiaparelli was the FIRST designer to use shoulder pads, animal print fabrics, & zippers dyed same colors as fabrics. ALSO - - well known for her surrealist 1930's hats, including the Dalí design resembling a giant shoe and one a giant lamb chop, both which were famously worn by the Franco-American Singer sewing machine heiress Daisy Fellowes, who was one of Schiaparelli's best clients and who owned a pink gemstone that inspired the color shocking pink. Elsa worked with surrealist artists Dalí, Fini, Cocteau, etc during 1936 - 1939 - she designed perfumes in addition to clothing, jewelry, etc. Her first fragrance (Shocking) was designed in 1936 by the surrealist Leonor Fini. Shocking is famous for its packaging (box was shocking pink and the bottle itself was in the shape of a woman's torso and based on the body-shape of film legend Mae West who was one of Schiaparelli's clients). Elsa designed for many stars including Zsa Zsa Gabor. In 1935 Schiaparelli moved to a fashionsalon overlooking the Place Vendôme in Paris. Her production slowed by WWII & her couturehouse went bankrupt - she moved to the USA. Schiap, as she was known to her friends, also designed costume jewelry. She was known for her striking uses of color, shapes, textures. Schiap collectors seek Schiaparelli clothing, including lambs wool or fur coats, scarves, hats, shoes, perfume bottles, advertisements by Vertes and more. Elsa S. was briefly married to Count William de Wendt de Kerlor who was a Franco-Swiss psychic medium - Elsa moved to Greenwich Village in New York City with him - they had one child (Maria Luisa Yvonne Radha - known as Gogo). More on Elsa S. : : : was credited with giving life to the term ' boutique'. Famous for her shocking pink hat boxes as well as many other fashion trends & items. Grand-daughter's name :Marissa Berenson, a fashion model & actress.   Over 100,000,000 served. Get FREE counters from Vendio today!  More than just a pretty picture. Try Vendio Image Hosting.
