Ferragni, more art at Sanremo: Yves Klein and sculpture to talk about women's rights

For the final night of the 73rd edition of the Sanremo Festival, Chiara Ferragni returned to host alongside Amadeus and Gianni Morandi. If on the first night she had brought Dior dresses inspired by works of art to the Ariston stage, yesterday the famous influencer chose to wear Schiaparelli dresses that speak of women’s rights and motherhood. Four dresses made by Daniel Roseberry for Schiaparelli with which Chiara Ferragni decided to address different themes related to the world of women.

The first was formed by a gold armor carved on the breasts, covered by a satin petticoat painted blue. The reasons for choosing this dress were explained in a post by the influencer herself on her Instagram account, “Being women without having to be considered only mothers. The female struggle against the guilt of wanting to reconcile everything was the theme we asked Daniel Roseberry to elaborate on for this dress made by the Schiaparelli fashion house. The hardness of the gold armor carved on Clare’s breasts represents a strength that does not need to imitate men’s to be considered equal. While the satin petticoat is painted blue because it has always been the color associated with the sacredness of motherhood represented here as a stereotype of a woman while nurturing a golden child. Not being considered only reproductive apparatus is the choice to fight for every single day!”

She then walked down the steps of the Ariston in another Schiaparelli dress, this time inspired by Yves Klein and body painting. “The gold imprint of a woman’s body imprinted on the blue of a column dress,” she wrote on her Instagram profile. “The audacity of that artistic and outrageous gesture of the artist Yves Klein inspired the look of Schiaparelli’s ss 2023, which according to Daniel Roseberry was the perfect synthesis of our Sanrem project. In the French artist’s work, women’s bodies were freed from their immobility as mannequins and called upon to independently imprint their forms on large white canvases to be painted blue. Free your body and do what you want with it because the woman’s body is the ultimate masterpiece of creation.”

The third dress, also made by Daniel Roseberry for the Schiaparelli fashion house, speaks of human rights. A long black velvet dress decorated with a womb-shaped necklace made up of different sections of a woman’s body as a symbol of activism for reproductive rights. A piece of jewelry also specially designed by Roseberry that was inspired by the Venus of Willendorf, preserved at the Naturhistorisches Museum in Vienna. “Reproductive rights are human rights. Because access to safe abortion and assisted reproduction is a human rights issue that we must not give up. Because every human being, whether man or woman, must be empowered to freely make decisions about his or her own body. Let’s not allow the struggles won by our mothers to have to be fought by our daughters as well,” reads an Instagram post by Ferragni.

The influencer finally ended the evening in a black velvet pantsuit, interrupted by a corset with embroidered pearls in the shape of abs that, as the dedicated post reads, “is meant to be a caricature to this sexist stereotype.” “Many people believe that in order for a woman to be taken seriously in certain spheres, she must assume masculine behavior or must dress like a man to demonstrate leadership skills,” she writes. The dress is meant to be “a message to men still convinced in the narrative of ’showing your muscles’ to be called women worthy of respect. Do not give up your femininity because it is considered a point of weakness by some because that is where women’s strength lies.”
