Schiaparelli brought surrealist smartness to the fashion scene between the wars. The spirit of Schiap as she was known, materialized at Dolce & Gabbana in their playful "gloved" headbands and their 1940s silhouette, not to mention the tiny ruffles that fluttered down the seams of stockings.
But most obvious was their use of shocking pink in taffeta dresses, marabou coats, and even wedgie shoes.
Diego Della Valle currently owns the rights to the Schiaparelli name. Rumor around Milan is that he has already chosen a designer to spearhead a relaunch.
