Schiaparelli’s surrealist vision transforms fashion into art and pure imagination
Explore the inventive world of Elsa Schiaparelli, where fashion and Surrealism collide in unexpected ways. The exhibition showcases over 200 objects, including iconic garments, accessories and collaborative artworks by Dalí, Man Ray, and Jean Cocteau.
Trace the designer’s bold experiments with colour, texture and print, from her Paris atelier in the 1920s to contemporary reinterpretations by Daniel Roseberry. The displays reveal her theatrical designs for stage and film, and her radical collaborations that challenged traditional couture, highlighting a legacy that continues to inspire creativity and blur the boundaries between fashion and art.
