Schiaparelli under Daniel Roseberry is built for impact. The pieces carry gold anatomical hardware, sculptural shoulders and surrealist detail, so the styling rule is simple: let one piece lead and keep everything around it quiet. Here is how our editors wear it.

Treat the gold hardware as the jewellery

A Schiaparelli piece with a gold padlock, a Keyhole rivet and hammered bijou buttons does not need a necklace and earrings on top. Wear the Padlock Jacket and the Keyhole Dress with bare ears and a clean neckline, and let the hardware read as the only ornament. A single gold cuff is the most you need.

Build around black and ivory

The house works in a tight palette of black, ivory and gold, which makes it easy to style. Pair a sculptural jacket with slim black tailoring and a pointed heel, and the proportion does the work. When a piece is already doing something dramatic at the shoulder, the trousers should be simple and straight.

Let tailoring carry the drama

The Elsa Jacket and the Measuring Tape Jacket are statement layers. Worn over a plain column dress and a fine knit, they turn a simple base into an event look. For evening, a structured Schiaparelli jacket over a slip dress is a sharper alternative to a gown.

Knitwear is the entry point

Not every Schiaparelli piece shouts. The short-sleeved jumpers and ribbed knits carry the Keyhole rivet at the back as a quiet signature. Tuck one into high-waisted tailoring by day, then layer it under a jacket after dark. It is the easiest way to wear the house if a gold-lung gown feels like a lot.

Dress for the occasion

Schiaparelli is red-carpet and statement-evening dressing first. Save the sculptural collars and gold hardware for events where you want to be remembered, and lean on the knitwear and clean tailoring for the days in between.
