Avant-garde Cuts: Schiaparelli and the Construction of a Surrealist Femininity

Abstract

Elsa Schiaparelli, an Italian-born fashion designer who established herself in Paris in 1922, became one of the most successful women in the industry during the interwar period. This paper closely analyzes Schiaparelli’s most innovative designs, in conjunction with her memoires, in order to elucidate her conception of female identity, an important but often misconstrued theme in surrealist art.
