Spring 1937. Fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli, the woman who-among other things-invented the color Shocking Pink (otherwise known as Rosa Schiaparelli), caused a scandal again: on the white inorganza dress designed for her by Salvador Dali and worn by Wallis Simpson she decided to have ... a lobster inserted. Not a majestic animal like the puma or highly symbolic like the peacock but - simply - a lobster. It is the beginning of a new era. The same one in which an English ruler, Edward VIII, abdicates for love and marries an American (whose name is precisely Wallis Simpson). In 2011, Gallia e Peter renews the provocation and creates a headdress that, in turn, will make history. It is the intriguing Hen Hat made for Moschino: an ironic and irreverent quirk. Black and white feathers, fire-red crest: the irrefutable proof that a barnyard animal (still present in so many farmyards and farmhouses in Italy), when paired with a highly crafted black/white sheath dress and shoes with stiletto heels, can become a very elegant, sensual, revolutionary headgear. Worthy of the most exclusive catwalk.
