More than dressing, the latest collection by designer Daniel Roseberry for Schiaparelli, titled Back to the Future, proposes building on the body. Under his experimental and sculptural direction, he recovers iconic pieces from the archive of the Italian house.

With this new Fall-Winter 2025–2026 couture creation, Roseberry reaffirms the idea that some fashion collections are not made to walk down the street, but to be worn as if they were sculptures turned into garments.

It embraces experimentation with materials and avant-garde techniques such as advanced textile manipulation, 3D embroidery, and geometric structures that challenge the traditional silhouette and give rise to forms that resemble new visual manifestos.

As well as pieces that resemble artistic installations, adorned with symbolic elements such as hearts, keys, or tears handcrafted in ceramic. There were also metallic thread embroideries on a runway that became a gallery and the body a living easel that held the artist’s canvas.

Although this visual language is an essential part of Roseberry’s creative DNA, his influence is growing and extending to other designers and houses that are betting on increasingly sculptural fashion.

But why this interest in crafting garments turned into art? It could be because, as with everything, when we become saturated with minimalism and comfort, there are those who seek the opposite, garments that demand attention and break with the established, betting on originality and complexity.

Conceptual fashion and this collection do not justify their origin through functionality, but rather create visual manifestos to provoke emotions. Because sometimes, dressing is not about covering the body, but about narrating a discourse and what better way to do so than through such an intellectual and daring lens as that of Schiaparelli.
