Kirstie Clements: Paris puts the cats among fashion’s silly geese

The Spring 2023 couture season wrapped up this week, and the first show, Daniel Roseberry’s Dante’s Inferno-inspired collection for Schiaparelli, certainly set the (big) cat amongst the pigeons.

During Dante’s journey, he confronts a lion (pride), a leopard (lust), and a she-wolf (avarice). So Roseberry’s atelier created incredibly realistic, but 100 per cent faux, heads of these magnificent beasts for his collection, adorning two dresses and a coat.
