Elsa Schiaparelli's granddaughter, Marisa Schiaparelli Berenson, has delved into the family's private albums to find photographs and letters that tell the story of her grandmother's life and career. The archive material is generously reproduced in Elsa Schiparelli's Private Album, documenting her early years in Rome, the founding of her fashion house in Pairs, and her life in her private villa in Hammamet, Tunisia.
