Elsa Schiaparelli | Court Presentation Ensemble | c. 1938

Another piece I loved from Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations. Schiaparelli was inspired by Regency silhouettes for this gown. The glass beadwork is incredible in person.

I finally went to Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations at the met yesterday. I absolutely fell in love with this gown. It is stunning in person. I particularly love the sleeves. They are a perfectly dainty interpretation of the large shoulder pads of the era.
