Paris couture week opened with a surreal and cinematic show by Schiaparelli, featuring a black-feathered omen and Cardi B holding a live crow. The Fall 2025 collection showcased a departure from extreme corsetry to a freer exploration of the body, inspired by Elsa Schiaparelli's restless spirit. The collection reimagined archival codes with a push toward the future, embodying couture's essence as an ideas factory unfettered by trends. Schiaparelli's ability to surprise and transform memory, myth, and technique keeps couture vital in a world rushing toward AI and fast fashion, making it a living laboratory for risk, reinvention, and radical beauty. The show at the Petit Palais, where Schiaparelli's past collided with fashion's future, highlighted the brand's commercial success and power to captivate with unexpected magic.
