Runway collections aren't always the easiest things to mimic on the cheap, and I'm just referring to ready-to-wear. Couture pieces are infinitely more difficult, with each garment being handmade and intentional down to the littlest detail. Never is this more apparent than at Schiaparelli's shows, which, thanks to the brand's creative director Daniel Roseberry and its founder Elsa Schiaparelli's legacy, are famously extravagant and artistic. But for its fall/winter 2023/2024 couture show, which took place in Paris just days ago, one small aspect of the offering allows me to get the Schiaparelli aesthetic for just $6.
The magic is in a stretchy, black headband, something that everyone knows you can buy on the cheap at a variety of venues, from Target to CVS to H&M. The simple hair accessory was worn close to the face at the Schiaparelli show, blocking any flyaways from even daring to surface. It was styled with extravagant and inventive couture garments, from a black-and-white hooded minidress with a sculpture-like skirt to a delicate-lace gown fit with one of the most impressive corsets I've seen. Though these looks will be harder to re-create IRL, they can inspire the color palette and silhouettes that will make for the chicest headband-clad ensembles.
Below, see some of the most beautiful ensembles from Schiaparelli's fall/winter 2023/2024 haute couture show, and shop the $6 H&M stretchy headband that'll help you get the look for less.
