Paris – At the Centre Pompidou, Daniel Roseberry once again proved why he is one of the most daring visionaries in fashion. For Schiaparelli’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection, titled “Dancer in the Dark”, Roseberry delivered a high-voltage blend of burlesque glamour, surrealist craftsmanship, and modern sensuality that had fashion fanatics leaning forward for a closer look.
A Theatrical Theme: Dancer in the Dark
The show opened with intrigue—was Roseberry referencing the flamboyant burlesque dancers of Paris, or was the title a literal nod to the chalk-like scribbles glowing on a jet-black dress in the dim light? Whatever the inspiration, the collection was pure spectacle, embodying both tension and release, eccentricity and freedom.
Bold Highlights on the Runway
Roseberry’s signature Surrealist touches were everywhere:
-
Lacquered cone and eggshell hats straight out of Elsa Schiaparelli’s playbook.
-
Paper blouses with scrunched necklines and clutches adorned with sculpted golden fingers.
-
Gold paintbrushes weighing down ensembles, hinting at both art and performance.
-
See-through, whisper-light gowns that floated around models like Alex Consani, juxtaposed with near-bare statements such as Kendall Jenner in a lace thong and tufts of black ponyhair.
The result was a show that balanced weight and lightness—an interplay of structure and sensuality that has become Roseberry’s hallmark.
The Celebrity Factor
As always, Schiaparelli drew a starry crowd. Kendall Jenner walked the runway, while Kylie Jenner and Rosalía (ELLE’s September cover girl) cheered from the front row. Their presence underscored Roseberry’s masterful blending of celebrity, couture, and cultural theatre, keeping Schiaparelli at the centre of fashion’s global conversation.
Beyond Ready-to-Wear
Though billed as ready-to-wear, Roseberry’s pieces often bordered on demi-couture, thanks to the intricate construction and meticulous detailing. Faux-peeling cutouts, sheer fabrics, illuminated stone embellishments, and the tension between restraint and release made the collection a feast for those who appreciate design as performance art.
Roseberry’s Schiaparelli: A Cult of Personality
Since taking over, Roseberry has injected sparkle and audacity back into Schiaparelli, cultivating a cult-like following among celebrities, stylists, and fashion devotees. With “Dancer in the Dark,” he reaffirms that Schiaparelli is not just about clothes—it’s about fantasy, narrative, and the pursuit of perfection.
✨ Style Takeaway: With SS26, Schiaparelli once again blurs the line between art and couture, proving that fashion, when in Roseberry’s hands, can be both theatre and transformation.
