Lots of other designers but he is working it. There are some really nice things I can see a customer wanting to re imagine. I wish he would work on a full wardrobe they way it should be done and not just a collection full of show pieces. He must understand that he has unlimited possibilities here. He should be pulling customers from Chanel as we speak but with this I'm not sure.Once again, I see a lot of other designers here...but little Elsa Schiaparelli. The presentation with the darkness is sophisticated, way more interesting than the collection.
@Kanzai I am very hard to please these days,because I have seen better collections decades ago. So I can say that the more that I see nowadays, the more bored I am.
I don´t think he is able to do so. After several years at the helm of this brand, he keeps copying mainly from late 80s and early 90s designers. He is like Demna at Balenciaga: he is obsessed with Margiela, and he does not care about the work of Cristóbal Balenciaga at all.Lots of other designers but he is working it.

That's such a shame and true Balenciaga work is so rich in history, so is schiaparelli ! But remember they have to sale it or make a show and the current ig climate it's hard to for designers to really explore which is sad. Just look around we are seeing more more designers stuck on the same path season after season, but this is no a down put for Daniel I like himI don´t think he is able to do so.

He could create a good collection. A collection with Elsa´s DNA; and a collection that could still get the attention of Instagram and the rest of media.That's such a shame and true Balenciaga work is so rich in history, so is schiaparelli !

Agree but it seems to be harder then we think because the numbers of good designers going out of business is nuts. Now we see a Three year contract and never see them again, so Daniel is on a wave and he's going to milk it.He could create a good collection.

But for that he needs talent (aka a vision), like the 90% of designers nowadays. Copying from the past is the easy way out; creating something on your own is the real deal.
This is actually a great point, and I think it’s something he needs to work on. When every look hits the same note of FIERCE, you kind of lose the impact and the eye loses interest.These are very impressive from a technical point of view. I don’t know much about dressmaking but it seems to me that the work here is beautiful and intricate. However there is no variety in the level of intensity of this collection, every single look seems to aspire to be the most incredible look ever, which in the end maybe becomes too much, in spite of the obvious beauty of many of these looks.
Yes McQueen was so powerful because those show pieces really build up though out the show and then boom 💥 magic! His givenchy showed he could make a full wardrobe hats glove shoes everything. Now we see collections of show pieces for the red carpet which I hate (the red carpet) .This is actually a great point, and I think it’s something he needs to work on.

As @Lola701 mentioned, the exaggerated shoulders are grating here - why not let those looks breathe with a fitted sleeve, for example? That would have made for a nicer build up to the more exaggerated looks - it could have provided visual relief and movement in the collection.
You think about the beauty of old McQueen shows…there was a real narrative of daywear, suiting, outerwear, dresses, evening, showpieces, etc.
I want to see a WARDROBE proposition from Daniel…because even his RTW is still very eleganzaaaaa.
Exactly! Prada (before Raf) was the ideal Schiaparelli template.View attachment 1281995

Ideally, the modern day schiaparelli woman should have looked like...
This collection was beautiful, I really enjoyed quite a few pieces. I find it odd that almost every single thread here on every single show is just filled with vitriol. I guess everything is sh*t and the world is ending by the way some of these miserable posts make it out to be.
