Is the Schiaparelli Lion dress real?
1 Answer

No, the Schiaparelli Lion dress is not real. Although its lion's head and fur look incredibly lifelike, the dress is actually handcrafted out of foam resin and other synthetic materials. The dress made headlines when Kylie Jenner wore it on the runway at Schiaparelli's Spring-Summer 2023 couture collection show at Paris Fashion Week.
