As Christmas draws near and the holiday spirit takes hold, Maison Schiaparelli ushers in December with a dazzling new chapter at Dubai Mall. The storied couture house unveils its ephemeral box of splendour, an immersive pop-up that channels the unmistakable aura of its Parisian home at 21 Place Vendôme. Sculptural, theatrical, and meticulously crafted, the installation arrives as a black-and-gold-lacquered jewel—its gleaming surfaces echoing the emblematic codes of Schiaparelli’s historic salons.
Inside, visitors are welcomed into a curated universe of fashion treasures from the Autumn/Winter 2025 collection. The gilded space showcases a refined selection of ready-to-wear, couture pieces, leather goods, and ornate objects that highlight the Maison’s surrealist heritage. Standout designs include the celebrated trompe-l’œil knits, sharply tailored coats, elevated denim silhouettes, and sculptural cocktail dresses. Signature accessories also take center stage, from the iconic Secret and Face bags to an arresting assortment of contemporary jewellery—each piece a testament to the house’s boundary-pushing craftsmanship.
The interiors pay tribute to the Maison’s original salons, first envisioned by Jean-Michel Frank for founder Elsa Schiaparelli. Here, golden expanses and soft architectural curves recreate an intimate yet opulent environment, inviting guests to step inside the Maison’s dreamlike world. The result is a surreal, sensorial escape that celebrates heritage, fantasy, and modern luxury.
Positioned at the heart of Dubai Mall’s Fashion Avenue, the pop-up offers an exclusive glimpse into Schiaparelli’s sartorial imagination. Its doors will remain open from December 2025 through February 28, 2026—three months of splendour crafted for admirers of couture, culture, and the extraordinary.
