Daniel Roseberry has revolutionized Schiaparelli by demonstrating how to lead a fashion house: injecting his own identity while honoring the legacy and ideas of its founder. For The Sphynx, the keyhole —the place where the key enters— opens a new dimension in which a dress can be as complex as the riddle of existence itself. For Paris Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2026–27, the inspiration stems from an icon, with the promise of delivering the heart of the brand in a way that can truly live within everyday life.

The Sphynx treats fashion as the contradiction it has always been: confronting the realities of the consumer industry. Techniques that initially seem impractical are transformed, through the manipulation of diverse materials, into garments that feel surprisingly light and wearable. This season, Roseberry steps away from rigid corsetry boning and instead liberates the figure with pieces that maintain the illusion of structure without sacrificing freedom.

Inspired by the Giacometti brooch, the collection incorporates the house’s most recognizable codes: keyhole motifs, measuring tapes, and surreal anatomical details appearing across accessories and handbags. Every texture, every construction elevates the female form, adorning it like a living work of art. When we think of Schiaparelli, ready-to-wear rarely comes to mind —yet this collection achieves precisely that without losing the essence of the house’s most iconic couture gowns.

Movement becomes essential: each piece is meant to glide with confidence and shine under the glare of the spotlight. The Sphynx explores a woman who never goes unnoticed —one who places herself at the center of the room so every detail can be admired, whether on the red carpet or on the dance floor.
