…………………I have been trying to catch up on the Fall 2025-26 Fashion Shows both in the US and Europe…..I can honestly say I haven’t seen that many, but so far I’m not raving about any of the ones I have seen. There have been elements in a few that are note worthy…..”SCHIAPRAELLI”…..is one on those lines that always has wonderful things….certainly not everything….but the attention to detail and creativity can not be questioned……I am NOT a huge fan of the “HUGE” shoulders on different tops, jackets, sweaters and dresses that are appearing on many runways……”BEEN THERE….DONE THAT”….They are a throw back to the 80s, and I can tell you those that invest in these exaggerated shoulders better have good tailors for when they want to narrow them in a year’s time when they will be totally…OUT…..However, that said…..I did appreciated the large shoulders on many of the Schiaparelli styles, because of the sculptured waist fit of the jackets…..It really was done to perfection, and they just weren’t boxes hanging from the shoulders…..looking like they were wearing a giants jacket…..The embroidery details….the creativity in the design and attention to the buttons, trims and buckles on the belts…the handbags and shoes, and all of the accessories…..worked beautifully with the entire concept of the collection…..The leather coat with the whip stitching, fringe and grommet detail was wonderful….The draping on many of the evening pieces was masterful….The jackets are always exceptional…..No….I didn’t love everything on this collect…..but from what I’ve seen so far on the runways it was a standout….You can’t deny the creative process…A Schiaparelli collect is always done with integrity…..It was NOT A LAZY COLLECTION!!!!……What collections have you seen that you….loved….liked….or hated????
