Elsa Schiaparelli is not as well-known today as her rival
Coco Chanel based on her stubbornness and unwillingness to change to what
society was dictating and because of this she closed down in 1954. If only we
had such an eccentric and fabulous designer today, would the world appreciate
and see her vision. It was an unfortunate chain of events that has brought most
of the world unfamiliar with the beautiful, sexy, unapologetic fashions today.
The biography written by Meryle Secrest depicts the
fashionista in light that makes this book a page turner, not only because of
the life of Elsa but the way it is written and the commentary of how Meryle
discovered and gathered all the interesting information on the little know
fashion designer. There is so much detail and research put into the biography
that it shows that Meryle prides herself in discovering and really displaying
the true colors of her project. I would read any biography written by Meryle
Secrest because I know that she will delve into the life of the subject and it
will give the reader a look into the person as if the best friend was writing
it.
Elsa Schiaparelli’s life is “Shocking” in that it is a shame
that her name did not continue to long live in the fashion scene. I didn’t know
much about Elsa but now I feel like I’m a little bit of an expert after reading
this biography. I wish that her legacy continues and maybe there could be some
sort of reemergence with her art, vision and raw talent. Elsa Schiaparelli biography written in great detail will make you
fall in love with her and Meryle Secrest. Praise for Meryle and Elsa!!
I have received this book from Blogging for Books in
exchange for an honest review; this did not influence my review of this book
and all my opinions and thoughts are my own.
