The show will examine Elsa Schiaparelli’s impact on art, fashion and performance, with a display of over 200 items, including her surrealist ‘Skeleton’ and ‘Tears’ dresses made in collaboration with Salvador Dalí. Works by Picasso and Man Ray will also be shown, as well as current Schiaparelli designer Daniel Roseberry’s interpretations of the founder’s legacy.
