Schiaperelli Curator Tour: The Egerton Salon Series
Discover the visionary world of Elsa Schiaparelli through an intimate curator-led evening as part of The Egerton House Hotel Salon Series. Beginning at the Victoria and Albert Museum, just a short stroll from The Egerton House Hotel, guests will be welcomed at the Secretariat Gate on Cromwell Road before embarking on a private tour through the UK’s first exhibition dedicated to the legendary designer. Guided by an expert curator from the V&A, guests will gain deeper insight into the stories, craftsmanship and cultural significance behind some of fashion’s most iconic creations, with exclusive access to this sold-out exhibition.
Spanning from the glamour and artistic rebellion of the 1920s to the contemporary reinvention of the house under Daniel Roseberry, the exhibition explores Schiaparelli’s daring creativity, surrealist influences and enduring impact on haute couture.
