LONDON (AP) — London’s Victoria & Albert Museum is opening a new exhibition celebrating the bold and surrealist designs of Italian fashion house Schiaparelli, from dresses created in collaboration with Salvador Dalí to show-stopping red carpet gowns worn by Ariana Grande.
The exhibition traces a century of art and innovation at the couture house, charting the way founder Elsa Schiaparelli worked with leading artists in Paris in the 1930s to current creative director Daniel Roseberry, who continues to capture global attention by dressing stars like Margot Robbie in sculptural designs.
