Shocking! The Art and Fashion of Elsa Schiaparelli (Dilys Blum)

Elsa Schiaparelli - Virgo Sun, Leo Moon, Scorpio Rising

Fashion is steeped with Virgos. They have a particular genius for styling, selecting just the right details to evoke the entire essence of something, Plus, I like how they make fashion feel like a skill rather than just a luxury. Schiaparelli was an absolute artist and this is the best monograph of her work i've seen. It's out of print, so you have to hunt for a used copy, but it's a pure delight to see her precision and very self-evident macabre-but-classy Scorpio Venus and Ascendant.
