Elsa Schiaparelli’s designs were characterized by their witty, Surrealist-inspired details. This black, wool marocain jacket features an embroidered mosaic of mirrored paillettes in the shape of two lamb chops. It dates from Schiaparelli’s Circus collection, presented in February 1938, just after the opening of the influential international Surrealism Exhibition in Paris. The jacket belonged to the American model and actress, Ruth Ford.
Photographed in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
