Schiaparelli SS26: Surrealism in Motion

Daniel Roseberry staged one of the Pompidou Centre’s final shows before its renovation, transforming the space into a surreal laboratory of couture and concept. Channeling Brancusi’s sculptural purity, his Spring/Summer 2026 collection blurred the lines between ready-to-wear and couture.

Tailored skirt suits exposed padding as structure, ribbed knits and asymmetric pencil skirts twisted expectations, while bias-cut dresses with intentional “rips” recalled Schiaparelli and Dalí’s 1938 collaboration, rendered this time in jersey, crystal mesh, and metal.

Surreal touches were everywhere—paintbrush skirt suits, nude jacquard knits, LED-lit salt lamp jewelry—each a wink to the house’s irreverent legacy. Roseberry’s Schiaparelli stood as craft meeting chaos, with meeting precision, and surrealism reborn for a modern world.
