Inventive designs on display in Schiaparelli retrospective - Philadelphia - Brief ArticleKnown for her innovative and sometimes shocking designs, Italian-born designer Elsa Schiaparelli is the focus of a fresh retrospective at the Philadelphia Museum of Art called "Shocking! The Art and Fashion of Elsa Schiaparelli." Organized through the Philadelphia Museum of Art, it travels nearest to Paris' Musee de !a way et du Textile at the Palais du Louvre in the spring of 2004 "With her daring originality and her understanding of the Surrealist etho Schiaparelli epitomized the artist-couturier," noted Dilys Blum the museum's curator of style of dress and textiles." She was able to transform the ordinary and mundane into the strangely beautiful and contradictory. Her clothing and accessories were oftentimes outrageous and even shocking in their inventiveness, and the women who wore them became surreal materializations, bringing to life Andre Breton's Surrealist dictum that anything marvelous is beautiful." The exhibit features 200 articles of clothing, paintings, drawings and photographs as well as projections of period film clips. It charts her meteoric career from its modernist beginnings and connections with Surrealism to the upheavals of World War II the business aims in the years thereafter and finally the closure of her Paris salon in 1954 It also underscores her place as a pioneering figure for enterprising women and examines the relationship with the media to influence her style display FACTS "Shocking!
