Elsa Schiaparelli
Elsa Schiaparelli was an Italian fashion designer who was known for her avant-garde and surrealist designs during the 1920s and 1930s. While she is primarily known for her clothing designs, she also created a range of jewelry and accessories that were just as bold and imaginative.
Schiaparelli's jewelry designs often incorporated unusual materials, such as wood, shells, and feathers, and were characterized by bold shapes and bright colors. She collaborated with a number of famous artists and designers of the time, including Salvador Dali, Jean Cocteau, and Alberto Giacometti, to create pieces that were truly unique.
One of Schiaparelli's most famous jewelry designs is the "shoe" hat, which was created in collaboration with Salvador Dali in 1937. The hat features a high-heeled shoe that appears to be balanced precariously on top of the wearer's head, and is considered a masterpiece of surrealist art.
Schiaparelli's jewelry designs were popular among the fashion elite of the time, and were worn by celebrities such as Marlene Dietrich and Greta Garbo. Today, her jewelry pieces are highly collectible and can be found in museums and private collections around the world.
