Dalí had his fair share of fantastic collaborations, but few were as iconic and fitting as that of outlandishly whimsical fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli. Their ongoing partnership resulted in exuberant designs, with the iconic lobster dress ("Woman's Dinner Dress") being the most notable. The dress, featured in an eight-page spread in Vogue, was created by Schiaparelli in 1937 with the help of Dalí. The two would go on to develop several other garments together. While it's unclear when Dalí and Schiaparelli first interacted, their social circles frequently overlapped, giving us the most radical, wearable versions of Dalí's art. #TheDali #SalvadorDalí #Schiaparelli #ElsaSchiaparelli #Fashion #Surrealism 📷: Dalí and Schiaparelli, c. 1949.
