The exhibit features about 400 objects including Dalí collaborations and iconic gowns, marking seven years of preparation to revive Schiaparelli's surreal fashion legacy.
- The Victoria and Albert Museum opens 'Fashion Becomes Art' on Saturday, celebrating the legacy of Italian designer Elsa Schiaparelli and her surrealist creations spanning a century of innovation.
- Elsa Schiaparelli opened her Paris business in 1927, declaring 'For me, dress designing is not a profession, but an art,' and collaborated with surrealist artists including Jean Cocteau and Dal.
- Highlights among the 400 objects include the 'Lobster Dress,' a white silk gown embellished with a red lobster created with Dal, and a black 'skeleton dress' inspired by their conversations.
- Creative director Daniel Roseberry continues the legacy, capturing global attention with contemporary designs; the exhibition features the red jewel-encrusted dress Ariana Grande wore to last year's Oscars for 'Wicked.'
- Seven years in the making, the exhibition aims to bring Schiaparelli's designs 'back to life,' according to CEO Delphine Bellini, while curator Rosalind McKever described the pieces as a 'kind of punk look' for their era.
