IL GRANDE VETRO DI FRANCESCO VEZZOLI (AFTER LEONOR FINI)
by FRANCESCO VEZZOLI
Francesco Vezzoli reinterprets Elsa Schiaparelli’s iconic Shocking perfume bottle in radically oversized form. The piece amplifies the bottle’s dramatic curvature, originally inspired by a dress form for Hollywood actress Mae West, while echoing Schiaparelli’s daring, avant-garde spirit. Monolithic and commanding, the work celebrates her legacy of empowering women and honors three extraordinary figures, transforming a familiar object into a sculptural emblem of fashion and art history.
