If you want to know what the most amazing couture salon looks like, have a peek at Schiaparelli’s new digs

The Schiaparelli revival is going strong, and the resurging label has opened couture salons on the exclusive Place Vendôme in Paris to prove it. The “prêt-à-couture”  brand has yet to hire a designer, but if the magnificent interiors of its new salons are any indication of what’s to come, the fashion world is in for a visual treat.

Drawing on the house’s surrealist roots, the colourful rooms offer a quirky take on luxury. The main salon boasts a beautiful lobster-shaped chest of drawers designed by Vincent Darré— a nod to the famous lobster dress hat Schiaparelli designed alongside Salvador Dalí — as well as a sphinx sculpture that once perched in Schiaparelli’s original atelier. The salons will provide the backdrop to the luxury label’s first show, which will take place during Paris Couture Week next January, and with all the rumours swirling around the yet-to-be-appointed designer, we can hardly wait to see what marvels will come from house Schiaparelli.
