Daniel Roseberry, creative director of Schiaparelli, is the star of the touching film which opened Paris’s first digital fashion haute couture season. July is normally that one month of the year when some of the most extravagant, stylish and wealthiest women gather in city of love to see shows and place orders. Not in 2020, as Covid-19 has people on the lockdown. The whole haute couture season will be available on the new platform of Fédération de la Couture et de la Mode. The home page of French fashion’s platform features video statement by supermodel Naomi Campbell in a T-shirt that reads: Phenomenally Black.
“The time has come to collectively call the fashion industry to taks regarding inequality in our workspaces and in our industry…. Paris is fashion’s central stage and it’s leader. This is a call for action that we are making", said Naomi Campbell.
“I have been living in isolation while Maison Schiaparelli took a hiatus. Everyone has their own lockdown story, some harrowing, some tragic, some utterly lonely. The luckiest of us have been able to spend this time in nature, far removed from city life. My own experience was shared with millions of other Manhattanites: It was privileged, but nothing extraordinary. What was extraordinary, however, was the ability to walk into Washington Square Park on a Monday morning and sketch out an Haute Couture collection,” explained Roseberry.
