A few months ago, coinciding with the opening of the "Prada & Schiaparelli: Impossible Conversations" exhibition, it was announced that the legendary house of Schiaparelli was to reopen thanks to the founding of philanthrope and owner of the Tod's Group Diego della Valle, who was accompanied by Farida Khelfa, the new ambassador for Schiaparelli.
The first collection after the closing of the house in 1954 will be shown during private appointments this week in Paris. What is still unclear (to me, anyway) is whether it will be a FW12 couture collection or if it will be part of the SS13 ready-to-wear collections. In any case, I am extremely excited and curious to see how they have reinvented the maison, which will reopen its doors at 21 Place Vendôme in Paris.
Some of the most important faces in fashion came out to celebrate such a unique occasion  – Alexia Niedzielski and Elizabeth von Guttman from Industrie magazine and Ever Manifesto, Suzy Menkes, Anna dello Russo, Roger Vivier's Bruno Frisoni, Carine Roitfeld, Haider Ackermann, LOVE's Katie Grand, and Jefferson Hack among others.
