The long-legged silhouet of a wildly running bowman found at Saltadora, Spain was duplicated in Basutoland at Bogati Hill; other parallelisms or derivatives sprang up time after time...

Schiaparelli gave women practically everything else, including dresses made of cellophane and rubber, collars of china, gadgets designed from harness. One of her best textile designs grew out of some plaster and netting she picked up in a rubbish pile. In her crusade for sharp, dramatic line ("skyscraper silhouet") Mme Schiaparelli persecutes the button with morbid zeal, has substituted all manner of gadgets in place of it, including metal coat fasteners in the shape of dollar signs...
