He’s put Schiaparelli back on the couture and red carpet map but now Daniel Roseberry has his sights set on ready-to-wear. Just don’t expect him to dumb down. He described his collection as “deeply chic, hyper exclusive. This isn’t Zara for rich people.” His clothes are audacious and extraordinary, with a level of detail not normally associated with ready-to-wear. A ruched evening gown had a perfectly rendered keyhole cut-out at the waist. The gold and enamel buttons are crafted like pieces of jewellery, with coats, jackets and a stunning denim jumpsuit boasting rows of them, each one different. A plush leopard chubby, looked like fur but was made with tufts of silk thread. Eyes, nose and mouth were picked out in gold embroidery on a velvet bodice. The cuts too, set this collection apart. Curving cigar sleeves, nipped in waists, curving peplums, all looked elevated.
