A Schiaparelli-Prada World

Much like Miuccia Prada, Elsa Schiaparelli was an Italian fashion designer, but few people nowadays recognize the name or have seen her collections. In honor of Schiaparelli and the exhibition of her and Prada's works at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations, I wanted to showcase some of their pieces that I find beautiful and inspiring.

Schiaparelli eyeglasses - a work of art.

Prada dress - the velvet pattern is feminine and intricate, but not overwhelming. 

 Schiaparelli jewelry - very classic and simple.

Prada heels that I could probably manage to successfully walk in.

This Schiaparelli dress is fun and quirky. 

I would probably try to wear it with the heels shown above.

Another pair of Schiaparelli eyeglasses - can't get enough of these.
