a few snippets from the dialogue assembled by the curators of
the Met exhibition. Parts of the dialogue will be included in the
catalog and video installations throughout the show.
A new show called, “Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada: Impossible Conversations,” looks at the two designers who certainly wouldn't argue.
ES: Many men admire strong women, but they do not love
them. Some women have achieved a combination of strength and tenderness,
but most of those who have wanted to walk alone have, in the course of
the game, lost their happiness.
MP: I’m interested in the lives of women in general,
which is why I love aprons. The apron is a recurring theme in my work
because it is symbolic of women’s sufferance. ... It’s an emblem of
women’s despair, their poverty, their passions. I love drama and
romance. It’s one of the reasons why I love antique jewelry — I like to
live the lives of other women.
