The Rise and Rise of Schiaparelli 

He really is absolutely incredible

testify ❤

CHANEL SURPASSED HER BY LARGE. The Italian was so gaga in all that she did . A great rival of Coco Chanel.

​@@donsarde preach bitch, although I think vionnet is the greatest of them all.

I agree so hot today, I think he’s a really fantastic piece of the puzzle for the brand

Absolutely

Yes, exactly, he was concerned with the brand history and wanted it to work in a modern contwxt more than he wanted to be famous

I agree, it’s a show. I look forward to each and every season, absolutely loved it. I’m so glad you continue to enjoy my videos too 🙌

Im so glad to help you dream

❤❤❤

Unattainable to you *right now* who knows what the future may hold! Fashion is such a bright vibrant artistic expression. It is often written off by people that don't understand it as trivial and inconsequential, but it is so important. ❤

@@hayley8509true even if it’s creating your own clothes

You would be right behind me!

I really agree, they were always one of the most interesting brands in modern history, I’m so glad they’re getting another hurrah

Well, she really didn't see herself as a collaborator of those art movements so much as part of it. She really considered her work as sculpture and wanted it to be taken seriously as art. Noone since has really taken it as seriously as her, its a real shame that it wasn't until decades later that fashion became acceptable to experience in art galleries, because really I think she would have seen that as the best place for her work Im currently working on two biographies, one on McQueen and one on Schiap, obviously from this you can tell Im already several books deep in research for Elsa, but shes so mysterious that its fascinating to try to read through so much just to get a morsel of information (which is often exaggerated by her) its brilliant, such an icon, a genius

She believed it was art too. Lots of people talk about her as a designer that worked with artists and thats just not how she saw herself at all. She didnt ‘include’ their art, she was part of it and made art with them together

Tysm, im so glad you enjoyed the video! Also, i feel like every art teacher was obsessed with her back in the day, my teacher is certainly how I learnt about her

Omg, this video really had me at a glove you could strike a match on.

I agree, she was a fascinating creative, not very good at the business side, but because of her extraordinary talent, she managed to thrive nonetheless, its quite astounding

Forever iconic

Next up, the understitch book club 😂

I’m so glad that you enjoyed the video, I can’t wait for you to see the biography I have coming on her 🙌

I was sooooo excited for that Lacroix collection so you can inagine my disappointment when it didnt take off

I’m so glad you enjoy them

I’m so glad you liked it, it was a really fun one to research

Omg thank you so much!! I hope you had a great summer with your very glamorous (I assume) visitors 💕💕💕

Im so glad you like them, I hope they help you, when I was trying to design BBAAAAACCCCKKKKK in the day there was noone to tell me marketing stuff at all, so Im glad I can be that for you

Thank you so much, and there are a shocking amount of sleeping beauties. You wouldn’t even believe have already started on videos for a couple, but there are far far far more.

I’m so glad you liked it, thank you so much for watching

The collection is mostly digital these days, I used to get them all second hand when my mum and nan would go to charity shops and car boot sales, but nowadays its trickier to find them cheap. I started reaching out to authors actually because I go through so many and some have been SO GOOD!

Thank you so much, theres definitely space for both though 🥰🙌

Thank you so much! I'm glad youve been liking my videos, and I'll definitely have that Gianni video one day!

Thank you so much

Thank you!

Can’t wait for you to see the next one in a few hours 🙌

Thank you so much, I work really hard on them

It was a great partnership for sure, their values and brandings align really well

Thank you 🙌

And its so clearly extremely well made

Thank you so much, I’m glad you enjoy my voice 🎤

I’m really glad you like the video

I’m really glad you like the video

Right?? I saw Grayson Perry was with Suzy Menkes the other day, so theres hope yet!

I’m so glad to hear that!

That’s pretty accurate, without these minds, these brands probably would not be around today (maybe except for Dior, who had a really loyal fan base of elderly ladies at the time)

If youre interested in Marlene Dietrich, in her autobiography she talks about how they met and how she shopped, its brief, but its a wonderful insight into how she treated people (both of them). And yes, I 100% agree Roseberry is a great fit for the brand

I’m so glad you enjoy my voice, I’m so self-conscious about it at times so that compliment really means the world to me, thank you

@understitchYT you will go far my love. I feel like I popped in ground floor...I saw you first in my feed maybe 3 weeks ago, and I adore fashion on all categories. Your canon is already superb, and no doubt I will be up to date soon! Keep going deeper and exploring, you are in your metier! 💋

So far the McQueen life and death video is getting very very deep, the first part is out tonight on Patreon actually so youll get to listen to it (its just audio atm because its in 10 parts, I need to get the audio first)

Im so glad you like them, I just love reading about fashion so much that its great to have an outlet for all of my research and enthusiasm

Youre going to loooooove it

I hope it’s up to your expectation

Such an iconic bottle, and obviously really heavily inspired the JPG ones

Oh youre going to love it

Im so glad you enjoyed it

Oh 100%

👑KING👑

There will be two videos today, the next one is in a few hours 🙌🙌

Its definitely still coming, those kinds of videos just take FOREVER to make (the McQueen one has taken over a year and the full 5 hour version is still unfinished). I am trying to get the Schiap one out soon though, please just hold tight 🥰

@@understitchYT ahh alright, thank you

Oh that'd be incredible! Elsa avant Schiaparelli hahha

The shocking pink fragrance would be iconic

@@understitchYT Absolutely

😂😂😂

Tysm 🙌

thank you so much!

I would love to see the oerfumes revived, Id love to see what kind of ornate bottles they would come up with

You have good taste

@understitchYT Thank you and thanks for posting. I enjoyed every minute of it.

The autobiography is in Scribd and the Meryle Secrest book is on Amazon 🥰

Rise and rise and hopefully continued rise

What would you have liked me to talk more about?

Which book? There both greta

Youre right it definitely goes in circles, so we can probably expect big make up in the next 5-10, but Im hoping it goes the Serge Lutens route of almost avant make up. Idk how many will be confident enough to really go for it, but Id love to see it

They already make things like tshirts for their store and they have a fair bit of rtw in bergdorf’s so I think its an inevitable evolution. But, saying that, Im not sure how well it will sell (though I dont think that matters in comparison to jewellery and bag sales, which are already selling well)

my favourite designers actually change often, but a real standout over my life has been JW Anderson. I watched his first show, I own two pieces (now destroyed) from his second collection. I dedicated my time when I had no money just to experience his clothing, I love his work and journey. That being said, I love so many brands which are more subject to change, Magliano, Palomo Spain, Paco Rabanne, Kimbiki (a very small Korean designer), Simone Rochas, obviously Comme, Ganryu, I like my own clothes a lot, Vaquera, I ALWAYS adore graduate shows, the list really is endless (I guess hence my broad enough knowledge to make a YT channel out of it)

And still one more to come today

Tysm 🙌

Wait what??

Do you paint onto clothes?

Alber was such a genius

John would be great for Schiap now, but I dont think he could have revived it with enough codes to bring back the memory of Elsa. Tho I very much agree about Demna at Margiela, thats a perfect fit

she did so many multi-functional garments its incredible, she literally lists them in her book on multiple occasions, its brilliant, I wish it was more of a well known part of her design

Oh I would love to, and Id live to do his life story too

@@understitchYT thanks

Go on…

You think? I think Roseberry is phenomenal

@@understitchYT Some Roseberry collection are great, but from the Inferno Couture I see a downfall, that's because, about me, Roseberry is sometimes a bit shallow

Is this comment meant for this video?

And what an iconic collection too

Actually Elsa did work alone, she was already a surrealist artist by the time she began wokring with other artists and she argued for years that she should be measured on her own merits, not by those of her friends. She argued she made art as valid as the men she was associated with andreally thoight the comparisons were close minded. Really its a shame then that history also painted her with that brush, its quite unnecessary

Hi Understitsch, thank you so much for reveal another secret. you are right . She an artist and classical one at that by using Tromp L eol. She is very good judging by her sweater design. Once a man gets little bit of money they start put women artist down.. There a rift between them that never healed.

This one is rise and rise, so very valid 😂

Hes an icon, hes a legend

Unfortunately I genuinely think that if Elsa was to try to start her busienss again today how she ran it back then it would fail in a heartbeat. Theres nowhere near enough grace as she needed to make it big (I mean financially), the way the company finances were back then was atrocious, no auditing, no budgets whatsoever, it was wild. Literally her business went bankrupt and she didn't notice at one point (or maybe she chose not to notice to keep the people she was protecting safe, this was during the war years after all)

Your wish is my command 🪄 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-n8vpBVpR3Ds.html&feature=shareb

💖💖💖

Agreed 💯

Double feature 📺

The other 18 celebrities will have to suffice, sorry

Yes! Its in the video

Thank you for your opinion

Who said fall?

I feel so the opposite, theres a really strong return in surrealist fashion with all of the trompe l’oeil we are seeing. Sciap were the pioneers of that, it seems only right that they share in the return

Isnt Luke american?

I thank you 🕴️

The autobiography is featured a lot in this video, it’s a really interesting read, but quite difficult if it’s your first book on her, because it requires some pre-knowledge of her business and herself

@@understitchYT I watched a documentary of and I wanted to read more about her because she seemed complexed but very straight forward and I couldn’t help but indulge. The reading is a bit steep but at least I pace myself with all background info.
