Elsa Schiaparelli
The Italian fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli (1890 — 1973) was beside Chanel one of the most prominent figures in fashion between the two World Wars. She launched a collection of knitwear in early 1927 using a special double layered stitch created by Armenian refugees and featuring sweaters with surrealist trompe l’oeil images.
