Shocking Life

â€œShe knew everyone from Paris to Hollywood, collaborated with the Surrealists, and left her indelible mark on the world of fashion.â€ â€”Vogue

â€œShe slapped Paris. She smacked it. She tortured it. She bewitched it. And it fell madly in love with her.â€â€” Yves Saint Laurent

â€œA dress from Schiaparelli ranks like a modern canvas.â€â€”Janet Flanner, The New Yorker

Elsa Schiaparelli (1890â€“1973) was one of the leading fashion designers of the 1920s, â€™30s, and â€™40s. Her fascinating autobiography, first published in 1954, charts her rise from a rat-infested apartment in Rome, to success in fashion, through the war years when she worked for the American Red Cross, to her eventual role as designer to the stars.
