Couture Look Of The Day: At Schiaparelli S/S 2023

 

Just another Monday in the world of Paris fashion as celebrities and fashion types descended on the Schiaparelli couture show.

Haute couture in Paris is a celebration of artisanship — and one-upmanship — as the world’s top fashion houses compete with one another to show off high-concept designs, each more dazzling and rule-breaking than the one before.Often, it can be a similar story with the celebrities and socialites on the front row. And it was definitely the case at the Schiaparelli show on Monday, a star-studded event and curtain raiser for the week ahead that was held at the Petit Palais.Take the American singer and rapper Doja Cat, who arrived in a crimson silk bustier, a matching wrap trailing from her elbows and a knitted pencil skirt dripping with lacquered wooden beads. At first glance she was barely recognizable to onlookers, the reason being the 30,000 red Swarovski crystals covering her face, head and arms, which had been hand-applied by the makeup artist Pat McGrath and her team over the course of almost five hours earlier that morning.
