will leave 'Shocking' without a deeper sense of Schiaparelli's
effort to make clothes that encouraged people to think' - Shelf
Awareness

with observational essays, reminds us of the creativity of a woman
who thought clothes could be more than things to wear … a wild
celebration of a rare talent' - The Lady

of her time she's still avant-garde nearly 50 years after her death

and influence' - NPR

photographed in full color... You will be struck by the breadth of
Schiap’s influence... Essential reading is Hanya Yanagihara’s
