Elsa Schiaparelli (September 10, 1890 – November 13, 1973) was the leading Parisian fashion designer of the 1920s and 30s after Coco Chanel.
She was born in Rome, Italy of Italian and Egyptian heritage. She was a great-niece of Giovanni Schiaparelli, who discovered the canals of Mars.
Schiaparelli opened her first salon, "stupidir le Sport," in 1927, and as the name indicates specialized in sportswear. In 1931 her design of a divided tennis skirt for star player Lili de Alvarez shocked the staid tennis world when Alvarez wore what was the forerunner of shorts at the Wimbledon tennis championships in London.
