Yesterday's post closed with Elsa Schiaparelli, so let's continue the Schiap thread for another day with this picture taken by Baron Adolph de Meyer in 1933.
It shows Schiaparelli's "Peiping" (Peking) red quilted cape matched with a grey satin sheath. Schiap wore this outfit at a concert at the Théâtre ds Champs-Elysées and she looked so striking in the architectural cape characterised by a clean line and a sort of embossed trellis-like motif that legend goes she left the audience startled. Have a lovely architecturally fashionable Sunday!
