Schiaparelli, the Paris-based fashion brand, has launched its first retail exhibition in Asia, titled ‘Through the Keyhole,’ in Shanghai, available until November 6. This exhibition features accessories, jewelry, and haute couture pieces by creative director Daniel Roseberry, along with ready-to-wear garments.
Designed to reflect the brand's "historic salons on Place Vendôme in Paris, a gilded installation shaped like a keyhole is displayed on the ground floor, featuring textured walls adorned with Schiaparelli’s anatomical motifs while guests enter through keyhole-shaped openings into a space inspired by architect Jean-Michel Frank's 1930s design."
Tour guides offer insights into the brand’s history, and videos of Daniel Roseberry discussing his work are shown on a large screen. Additionally, pieces from the Spring 2024 and Fall 2024 ready-to-wear collections are showcased in a private suite for an upscale experience.
