In the absence of a show collection for fall 2020 couture, Daniel Roseberry sat down in Washington Square Park to sketch a “collection imaginaire.' “It’s the story of a collection that could’ve been,” the Schiaparelli designer says. See every look here:
On April 23, 2019, the day that Daniel Roseberry’s appointment as Artistic Director of Schiaparelli was announced, the house posted a quote of his on Instagram. “Schiaparelli was a master of the modern; her work reflected the chaos and hope of the turbulent era in which she lived,” it began.
Little could Roseberry have known then how right he got it. A year on, the coronavirus pandemic brought modern life to a virtual standstill. Now, as we inch our ways back outside of our homes, we’re returning to a new world. Those of us who pretend it’s unchanged—by refusing to wear masks, say—face dramatic consequences. The crisis certainly rearranged Roseberry’s life.
Haute couture is all but impossible to develop in quarantine; it’s a hands-on, collaborative métier. In the absence of a show collection, Roseberry sat down in Washington Square Park to sketch a “collection imaginaire” for a promotional video. “It’s the story of a collection that could’ve been,” Roseberry says. “There’s this beautiful, poignant admission that we didn’t have the resources to function as usual.” Well, unusual times call for unusual measures.
