The Victoria and Albert Museum is opening a new exhibition celebrating how the fashion house Schiaparelli turns fashion into surreal art. The exhibition spans a century of design, from Elsa Schiaparelli's collaborations with Salvador Dalí in the 1930s to show-stopping red carpet gowns worn by Ariana Grande. The show includes about 400 objects. It pairs Dalí’s Lobster Telephone with the Lobster Dress by Schiaparelli and Dalí, as well as a coat made with Jean Cocteau. The final rooms spotlight modern looks worn by Hollywood stars, including Ariana Grande’s jeweled gown with a protruding ruby slipper at the back.
