Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art - A Celebration of Creativity at the 2026 Met Gala and Victoria & Albert Museum Exhibition
Fashion and art intersect in the 2026 Met Gala and the new exhibition "Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art" at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. The exhibition's opening was celebrated by Schiaparelli's creative director Daniel Roseberry, along with fashion and art luminaries like Daisy Edgar-Jones, Gabbriette, and Elizabeth Debicki, all donning Schiaparelli creations. The event also saw the presence of Regina Hall, Rina Sawayama, Marisa Berenson, Hamish Bowles, and Naomi Ackie, adding glamour to the evening. The exhibition showcases over 200 objects, including fashion, jewelry, art, and furniture designed by Elsa Schiaparelli and Roseberry, highlighting the brand's unique aesthetic and creativity.
The exhibition marks the first-ever UK showcase dedicated to Schiaparelli, featuring iconic pieces like vintage bottles of the "Zut" perfume, the cyborg baby from the spring 2024 couture show, and Ariana Grande's gravity-defying dress from the 2025 Oscars. Roseberry praised Elsa Schiaparelli for embodying contradiction in her work and personal life, blending business acumen with a penchant for surrealism and creativity. The multidimensional nature of Schiaparelli's designs and persona continues to inspire and captivate audiences, making the exhibition a must-see for fashion and art enthusiasts alike.
