HAUTE COUTURE SPRING-SUMMER 2026

At Schiaparelli, couture does not whisper, it asserts. Under the direction of Daniel Roseberry, Spring Summer 2026 sharpens surrealism into silhouettes that oscillate between armor and air. Among the collection, six standout creations quickly became the most talked about of the season, each capturing the house’s bold vision with undeniable presence.

Look 6 is disciplined and dangerous, a severe black wool crepe bustier dress sliced by a satin stitch trompe l’œil crocodile tail that reads as instinct made visible. A sudden eruption of white tulle embroidered with silk mimosas at the back softens the threat, turning restraint into poetry. Look 11 is a sculptural gown that transforms the body into a vision of flight. The feathered bustier rises with precision above layers of tulle softened by a subtle sfumato haze, while ivory satin pumps embellished with hand sculpted trompe l’œil bird’s heads and curved heels underscore Roseberry’s commitment to fantasy without cruelty.

Look 13 stunned the audience, sparkling with radiant intensity and refined elegance.The sculpted silhouette, entirely encrusted in rhinestones and fluid crystal fringe, shimmered under the lights with hypnotic intensity, while baroque pearl earrings and the signature keyhole mule. Look 20 centers on a beige jersey bustier veiled in neon green sfumato, a nod to Renaissance art where color dissolves softly into shadow. The black lace skirt, traced with silk mimosas, pearls, red and black feathers, enriches the surface with refined texture.

Look 26 commands in kingfisher blue, radial silk feathers blazing against a black crin corset with obsessive precision. The transparent tulle skirt achieves architectural volume without weight, balancing spectacle and control. Look 28 closes in peacock reverie, iridescent feathers crystal dipped in absinthe green shimmering across a dramatic décolleté. Beneath, shadowed layers of black tulle gather like wings before flight, metamorphosis rendered in silk and light.
