This two-piece bathing-suit from Schiaparelli comprises a hand-knitted sweater with black and white stripes and flannel shorts with pearl buttons. It is understated in comparison to many of Schiaparelli’s other designs, but Huene introduces a surreal note by placing mannequin legs at the top of the scene, resembling those of the model Bettina Jones below.
