In Paris, Schiaparelli began making her own clothes. In 1927, one of her first designs- a black sweater knitted with a trompe l’oeil white bow- was seen by a buyer and orders were put in (Thames). This sweater launched her career in fashion (Fashion) and she also debuted in Vogue magazine (Vogue). She opened her first shop, Pour le Sport (“For Sports”) the same year. Her first collection consisted of knitwear. In 1928, the collection expanded to include bathing suits, skiwear, and linen dresses, and by 1931, Schiaparelli added eveningwear (Wikipedia).
