Elsa Schiaparelli inspires Catuma capsule collection

Elsa Schiaparelli is regarded as a pioneer of prêt-à-porter because of her inventiveness and taste and because she held the first fashion shows. She also put an end to the idea of the woman “locked” into her clothes by introducing the visible zip. Her innovative, surrealist and bold art inspired the designers of the young, Made in Apulia eyewear brand, Catuma, for a special capsule collection dedicated to her. The model Tribute to Elsa is in steel with a front in pink slate embellished with brass decorations and temples in acetate. The special edition is the forerunner of a new collection that will be launched in September. The next collections will also be preceded by a capsule dedicated to a woman who made recent history through art, fashion or particular characteristics. The next will be the Irish furniture designer and architect Eileen Gray.
