Synopsis
Elsa Schiaparelli was a fashion designer who worked in the 1920’s and 30’s in Paris. Her designs from a century ago are still considered modern today. This film is an unreliable account of Elsa’s life as seen through the eyes of her childhood imagination. Did these things actually happen? Or is the life of the artist already present in their early imaginings; turning an imperfect childhood into inspiration for their art?
