Look 29, a trompe l'oeil
bodysuit dress, from
Schiaparelli's Fall/
Winter 24 collection
A
SURREAL
IMPACT
When her first trompe
l'œil looks debuted
in 1927, Elsa Schiaparelli
shocked the fashion
industry with a penchant
for exaggeration, whimsy,
and bold illusions. A
century later, her designs
are just as inspiring.
