As the anticipation for the first Monday in May builds, the pre-Met Gala festivities are in full swing in Manhattan. Straight from Paris, Schiaparelli’s creative director, Daniel Roseberry, descended upon New York to unveil the house’s captivating spring 2024 collection in collaboration with Linda Fargo and Bergdorf Goodman. Guests were greeted at Casa Cruz with an intimate showcase of the ready-to-wear ensembles. The collection’s closing look, adorned with an array of red, almond-shaped acrylic nails and modeled by Kendall Jenner, took center stage. The iconic, life-sized gold lobster necklace from the house’s repertoire was also prominently displayed. nnLinda Fargo, the driving force behind Schiaparelli’s presence in New York, expressed her delight, “I courted Daniel for months before I finally convinced Schiaparelli to come to New York with Bergdorf. The response from our community to his surrealist collection has been incredibly positive, and it’s been awe-inspiring to witness his vision come to life on the streets of Manhattan.” nnThe event was graced by a constellation of fashion enthusiasts and notable figures, including Eva Chen, Blake Abbie, Anh Duong, and more, showcasing their impeccable style in Schiaparelli creations. Amidst the vibrant atmosphere, Fargo engaged in discussions with Delphine Bellini, CEO of Schiaparelli, regarding her Met Gala red carpet predictions and summer plans, while Adam Selman, Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, and Amy Sedaris held court at the bar. nnOn the rooftop terrace, adorned in pink and white hues, guests basked in the invigorating spring air while indulging in delectable canapés. Despite the looming schedule of final fittings, glam tests, and alterations for Sunday’s events, the evening exuded an exceptional camaraderie and excitement. “It’s wonderful to be in New York with such vibrant energy building up to Monday night,” Roseberry remarked with a smile. Having adorned celebrities such as Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, and Cardi B in previous Met Galas, the fashion world eagerly anticipates the unveiling of this year’s Schiaparelli creations on the red carpet.
