La crème de la crème celebrates the reopening of Schiaparelli in Paris

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.

The Metropolitan Museum still hasn't opened their latest Schiaparelli and Prada exhibition to the public yet. Everyone will be able to enjoy it from this Thursday 10th. This means only those fabulous people dressed to the nines last night have been able to see it so far!

I haven't had the chance to see any of the exhibitions, which makes me upset if I think about it – especially McQueen's last year. But I am also super interested in finding out this so-called conversation between Miuccia Prada and Elsa Schiaparelli.

The lovely people from Prada have kindly sent over a preview of the exhibition before it opens this week. I would love to go through those years and years of incredible Prada creations...!

I am also excited about the news that Schiaparelli is being brought back to life in 2013. The famous philanthrope and fashion mogul Diego Della Valle, owner of the Tod's Group, has acquired the brand and is putting it back on the fashion panorama!
