Spanish Painter and Illustrator
His fashion drawings helped to divulge the image of the stylised, elegant and sporty woman of the thirties.
Many of his designs were published in La Esfera (1916-1931), Nuevo Mundo (1925-1927), Por Esos Mundos (1925-1926), Cosmópolis (1929-1930), Blanco y Negro, and the newspaper ABC.
He moved to Paris in 1926, where he lived intermittently until 1935. It was during those years that he developed his talent as a fashion artist, eventually becoming an internationally-renowned figure, working for magazines such as Femina, Vogue, Jardins des Modes (1926-1927) and Harper’s Bazaar, and making his first steps in advertising posters by promoting the Spanish Ballet La Argentinita by Antonia Mercé .source
Returned to Spain in 1936 at the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War and joined the Nationalists ( Bureau of Propaganda, Burgos).

Marlene Dietrich wearing Schiaparelli
The Tears Dress, 1938, evening ensemble, V&A Museum
Savage rips and tears cover Elsa Schiaparelli's slender evening gown and head-veil. A closer look reveals the illusion. The dress is printed, and the rips in the veil have been carefully cut out and lined in pink and magenta. The trompe l'oeil (illusionistic) 'Tears' print was specially designed by Schiaparelli's friend, the artist Salvador Dali.....
This dress was part of Schiaparelli's famous 'Circus Collection' of 1938. It was a riotous, swaggering fashion show that attracted a great deal of publicity. Clothes were decorated with acrobats and performing animals. The models wore clown hats and carried balloon-shaped handbags. The Tears and Skeleton dresses must have been doubly shocking amongst all this madcap gaiety....(V&A, source)
