The Schiaparelli SS26 show shocked with its aesthetic provocation, yet it was the celebrities who stole the spotlight.
Paris Fashion Week witnessed a spectacle that merged visual excess with technical mastery: Schiaparelli Spring/Summer 2026. Under the title ‘Dancer in the Dark’, Daniel Roseberry explored the figure of the modern vedette with a collection oscillating between surrealist theatricality and an almost raw sensuality.
The runway came alive with ethereal gowns, bodies wrapped in sheer black fabrics, golden brooches resembling glowing stones and sculptural headpieces echoing Elsa Schiaparelli’s lacquered eggs. Yet where there was rigidity, fluidity emerged. Where there was structure, desire followed. Every detail was crafted to captivate twice over: first through impact, then through discovery.
And while the show itself was unforgettable, the front row commanded attention. Kylie Jenner wore a metallic ruffled dress that sculpted her figure. Rosalía, the house’s unofficial muse, appeared in a textured white gown that contrasted with her fierce presence. Manu Ríos opted for a retro-inspired genderless ensemble, cementing his role as a benchmark of contemporary men’s style.
The finale came with Kendall Jenner, who closed the show wearing nothing but a lace thong and strands of black horsehair. It was an image that distilled everything this new era of Schiaparelli stands for: risk, theatricality and desire.
With this collection, Roseberry cements his vision: a Schiaparelli that embraces radicalism without losing elegance, once again becoming one of the defining highlights of Paris fashion.
