Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art
V&A South Kensington is staging the first ever exhibition in the UK dedicated to Maison Schiaparelli. Highlights on display include the 1938 Skeleton dress, the only known surviving example (a part of the V&A’s permanent collection), as well as the 1938 Tears dress, along with a hat resembling an upside down shoe, all conceived in collaboration with artist Salvador Dalí.
Artworks by Pablo Picasso, Jean Cocteau, Man Ray and Eileen Agar are also on display, as well as several of Schiaparelli’s designs for film and theatre productions. |
