Sixties ugly hat/snood/turbant/ whatever it is. Who'd wear that design, that concoction ?
cecil said:Ha! Wow, I've always spelled it correctly but I've been pronouncing it wrong. Luckily I 'say' it on the internet alot more than I say it in real life. She's my favourite designer, so that could have been very embarassing lol Thankyou!
Miss_Bella_Hell said:You're both wrong! It's pronounced "Skap." I defy any Parisian to say otherwise!
Italian treats the letters in it's words with respect. Chi is sounded as "key" as in Chianti not canti. Schiavo was widely mispronounced as shaivo but is pronounced skee ah'vo, italian for slave oddly enough. The designer was Italian not French. Born on Sept 10,1890 at the Palazzo Corsini in Rome. Sorry Bella but Schiaparelli is Ski-ahp(or op) and bruschetta is broos kay' tah not brewshetta.

Back on topic, Joan Crawford was never so lovely as her Two Faced Woman number in Torch Song (1953):
In That's Entertainment III, Debbie Reynolds tells how the original version of Two Faced Woman was performed by Cyd Charisse in The Band Wagon, a musical of the same year, but was cut for time. Comparing the two would make you cry (if seeing Joan in blackface didn't already!)
