Schiaparelli Anglomaniac explores the creative dialogue between the House of Schiaparelli and a vibrant community of over 50 British artists, photographers, stylists, and image-makers.

Edited by Thierry-Maxime Loriot and introduced by Dua Lipa, the book features a historical-critical essay by Loriot and a text by Robin Muir examining the historic collaborations between Schiaparelli and photographer Cecil Beaton. The publication includes numerous previously unpublished images and artworks presented here for the first time, alongside interviews with Nick Knight, Stephen Jones, Dame Pat McGrath, Guido Palau, and Nadia Lee Cohen, with additional contributions by Trino Verkade. Since Daniel Roseberry’s arrival at Schiaparelli, his singular creative vision has inspired a wide network of British talents across photography, illustration, performance, fashion editing, hair, and make-up. In the spirit of Elsa Schiaparelli’s original collaborations with artists, the book highlights the work of nearly fifty creatives spanning several generations. Featured figures include historic photographers Cecil Beaton and Norman Parkinson; established artists such as Nick Knight, Tim Walker, and Pat McGrath; and a new generation including Nadine Ijewere, Campbell Addy, Felix Cooper, Nadia Lee Cohen, Jack Davison, Tom Craig, and Harley Weir. Together, these collaborators reflect the evolving cultural landscape surrounding the House. Across disciplines and generations, these artists respond to the work of a single creative mind while asserting their own distinct perspectives. Their images and interventions reinterpret and subvert the established codes of both a fashion house and an industry, celebrating diversity, wit, and technical mastery. [Fonte: sito editore]
