Daniel Roseberry: An American Fashion Designer

Daniel Roseberry is a young American fashion designer crafting phantasmagoric fashion for the modern era. He defines fashion as a form of art through his designs for Maison Schiaparelli. A surprising fact is that he has never taken any formal training in haute couture. Still, he is the first and the youngest American to be an artistic director of French Haute Couture Schiaparelli. Furthermore, he has created many iconic clothes while paying homage to its founder, Elsa Schiaparelli, and her love for surrealism. For instance, in his latest collection, there is a lot of use of gold jewelry, hardware, repurposed denim, molded leather, metal breastplates, and body parts.

A Passionate Walking Dream

In the autumn/winter collection this year there was a lot of floral display which was inspired by a book named A Passion for Flowers. Whose copy used to be there on Roseberry’s coffee table and from where the inspiration journey began. Moreover, it’s just so amusing how designers derive inspiration from a book and add their thought to it, and craft a dress. Sunflowers, roses, and lavender fronds were crafted from hand hand-painted and sequined silk and even leather molded onto the back of spoons to create the petals. Furthermore, in this collection, there was a subtle homage to Elsa Schiaparelli’s surrealist inspirations through the neckline of a black velvet jacket cut and the Lesage embroideries that she revealed.
