Schiaparelli Spring-Summer 2025: Daniel Roseberry showcases luxury and everyday wear coexisting in his Ready-To-Wear collection
Daniel Roseberry produced one of his boldest collections yet at Paris Fashion Week. The lineup is a mélange of their past archives and visions of the future.
Roseberry has given us a collection all about structure and texture by capturing the essence of the Schiaparelli heritage and incorporating a contemporary eccentric style. Unconventional fashion is Daniel Roseberry. Prèt-a-porter is a newer design for him; however, he embraces Elsa Schiapparelli's famous Trompe d’oeil motif with his touch on accentuating the beauty of the female body.
Mostly all looks displayed an elevation of fashion, not only physically through the design of a tight stretched corset, but metaphorically through the texture of the clothes. From denim to wool and satin, Roseberry was right on target of expressing ‘both of what fashion can be, but of how fashion can make you feel.’
Known for its surrealist, high-fashion designs associated with luxury, Roseberry's inclusion of denim, a fabric historically linked to casual fashion, is defined by its durability and timelessness. This allows the collection to become bigger than the clothes, it forces society to look beyond the ideas of couture. Roseberry is redefining boundaries between high-end and everyday wear. This collection is a statement.
Considering Kendal Jenner’s look of denim trousers with an exposed U-shaped cutout and wool corset. The essence of Schiapparelli’s optical illusion, often seen in their haute couture is unveiled similarly in their Ready-to-Wear collection. This look embodied the unique twist of their heritage opulence and classic denim. Not only did the design accentuate Jenner’s figure but depicted Roseberry’s ideas beautifully. He contradicts the idea of bringing everyday wear into high-end and shockingly brings couture into daily life fashion.
Roseberry’s unmistakable love of the curvaceous silhouette is once again reflected in his design. Not only does he incorporate Elsa Schiaparelli's intense ‘bold style and timeless allure’, but he also represents female liberation. In a world that is constantly evolving, Rosebury consistently offers a blend of heritage and innovation. Thus, Schiaparelli’s summer-spring 2025 collection is a testament to this delicate fusion.
In his second look, he displayed a jersey body suit matched with a draped skirt that leads into a decorative braid, simulating a whip held by the model. This also adds to the expression of a woman’s adoration, as Roseberry gives a female power not only through the accentuating features of the sartorial elegance but also by physically giving the model clothing as a tool for authority.
Similarly, the gold illuminating details delivered sculptural embellishments due to their oversized and dramatic accents. The gold jewellery not only embedded sprinkles of the Schiaparelli luxury but small trademarks of Roseberry’s Schiaparelli, as he often uses them to reinforce the house’s surrealist ancestry.
The vibrance of the background served as a striking canvas to enhance the intricate and meaningful designs. The shade often associated with depth and creativity has also been a member of the house’s historical affinity. The sound choice that accompanied the event also proved to be a powerful tool in setting an immersive experience and completed the avant-garde aesthetic for the collection.
In an interview, the designer explains the difference between his usual haute couture collections and the freshness of his Ready-To-Wear collection. He describes that all while building a ‘combustions of fashion, celebrity, culture and history’ he has been ‘developing couture’s sister: Ready-to-Wear’, in the hopes of appealing to the ‘daily lives’ of his ‘clientele’. This highlights his vision of a balance between wearability and couture.
The mixture of plain corset wool bodysuits, the eccentric patterns of zebra stripes, the extensions of shoulder pads and even fabric braided whips, depicts Roseberry’s versatility, within this creative industry, which is in dire need of adaptability to contemporary movements.
Roseberry has dedicated the collection to " Future Vintage”, where he introduces and powerful mix of trends and time. “At the beginning of this collection, we decided we were going to make clothes not just for our clients, but for their daughters and granddaughters”, said Roseberry. His forward thinking and adaptability to the times shine through his clothing and emphasises sustainability. Challenging the transient nature of the fashion cycle, he endorses the idea of durable style and quality.
Each piece from this collection tells a story and draws the line between couture and everyday, showing us they can coexist together, proving that Roseberry’s Schiaparelli is not afraid of redefining the language of luxury.
