Printed textiles
In 1936, Schiaparelli created novelty prints for the American market, selling them to manufacturers and the fabric sections of department stores. Fourteen of these were made exclusive to American textile manufacturer Drucker-Wolf, Inc. Among the designs were disembodied hands with floating red hearts and a skyline of famous Parisian landmarks including the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe. The latter celebrated the upcoming 1937 Exposition Internationale in Paris.
