White, Palmer. Elsa Schiaparelli, Empress of Paris Fashion. First Edition. 1986. Book and dust jacket are both in very good condition—jacket shows slight edgewear.
It should come as no surprise that as a young child, Schiaparelli planted flower seeds in her ears and nose. The Surrealistic touches she would place on her hats and clothes as designer were what eventually blossomed as result. This monograph on the great early Twentieth Century Parisian designer features photographs and illustrations of Schiaparelli and her work. The arc of her career reminds one that success is not flat. It takes time. Schiaparelli languished in poverty for many years, albeit the thrilling Bohemian variety, prior to forever changing the course of fashion.
