SCHIAPARELLI, Elsa SHOCKING LIFE
1954 SCHIAPARELLI, Elsa. SHOCKING LIFE. Illustrated. NY: E.P. Dutton, 1954. 8vo., black cloth in dust jacket. First Edition. Elsa Schiaparelli was considered one of the top desginers in her day, with "Schiaparelli Shocking" being one of her slogans; hence, the title of this book- her autobiography. Schiaparelli was born in Rome but eventually ended up in Paris designing her own fashion line- but apparently without much success. In 1928 the French "Vogue" magazine displayed one of her black & white sweaters with a "fool-the-eye" bow at the neck. American author Anita Loos, who wrote "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" (which was later made into the famous movie starring Marilyn Monroe) purchased one of the now famous Schiaparelli sweaters which, in turn, created the new buzz about this up- and-coming desginer and department stores began to stock her clothing; thui the sale that launched her career. Signed presentation from Schiaparelli to American author Anita Loos, signed as "Schiap." With the red Loos estate stamp on the same page. I am unable to make out all of the words in the presentation but it says: "To Anita, my first courageous [illegible word] with [another illegible word] & friendship, Schiap." A truly wonderful association copy! Schiaparelli had quite a reputation including: said to be the first woman to use synthetic fabrics in her designs; first to use the zipper (which was invented in 1936); and the first person to establish a "boutique" as a means to sell ready-to-wear designer clothing to the general public. Also with this book is an original "Schiaparelli Shocking" promotional card, which Loos used as a bookplate. Near fine (bright); moderate edgewear (small chips & creases) d/j. One of the best association copies to be had relating to this well- known designer!
