**__Elsa Schiaparelli__** Elsa Luisa Maria Schiaparelli was born in 1890, at the Palazzo Corsini,Rome. Schiaparelli was a succesful student and was annoyed by anything academic. It was Elsa’s Uncle "Giovanni" a famous astronomer, who recognized her intellectual curiosity. So when she was at the age of 19, she started a course in Philosophy at the University of Rome. She had a mystical way of thinking about the world and found that she enjoyed the course immensely. Two years later, she published a book of poems about sorrow, love, sensuality and mysticism. The book shocked her traditional family and her father packed her off to a convent, from which she was removed after going on a hunger strike. She traveled around the world, attended concerts, and all the major fashion shows. By December, 1954, she was forced to close her business, yet she did not fade from sight. Although the 'House of Schiaparelli' closed in 1954, her groundbreaking ideas continue to influence the fashion world of today, where her designs have been continuously imitated and adapted. Until her death in 1973, at age of 83, she still continued to receive visits from celebrities in her lavish apartment in Paris and a house that she owned in Tunisia.
