Debate over animal-head couture designs
Schiaparelli's Spring/Summer 2023 haute couture gowns used highly realistic three-dimensional heads of a wolf, leopard, and lion. The designs prompted criticism and debate from animal-rights commentators because of their realism and association with trophy-like imagery. The house stated that the pieces were made from resin, foam, silk, and other non-fur materials.
