Spring/Summer ‘22, Preceptor Seluvis

I mean, you know what they say about a big hat. Big, big tears to hide. Schiaparelli’s 2022 spring-summer collection was meant to signal glamorous, tight despair, Roseberry explains in the season’s description on the Schiaparelli website.
“I found myself […] thinking about the empyreal: The heavens as a place to escape from the chaos of our planet, but also the home of a mythical high priestess, at once goddess and alien, who might in fact walk among us,” he writes. “I imagined a being whose very clothes defied rules of gravity.”
That includes this big ass hat, paired here with gloves covered in vintage rhinestones, hands made from resin, and gold leaf. Its grandiosity and coldness matches Elden Ring’s Preceptor Seluvis, an obnoxious, insincere sorcerer whose gold mask might hide his own pain. Or perhaps just pimples. He’s useful for a magic build, though.
