Art and design: Elsa Schiaparelli's surreal hats

Parisian fashion designer and designer Elsa Schiaparelli is famous for its ambiguous from the point of view of design clothing projects. Her creative partners were world-famous artists: Jean Cocteau, Christian Berard, Marcel Verte and others. The models developed together with Salvador Dali deserve special attention. A unique vision of the world of the surrealist artist inspired Elsa to create dresses, hats and accessories of bizarre shapes. For example, in 1937, a hat in the form of a Shoe was made based on Dali's sketches. Despite the unusual products, the Schiaparelli fashion house began to expand rapidly in the 1930s, and the number of employees reached 400 people who worked in eight workshops. In 1954, the company was closed, but both the designer and her amazing clothing items are remembered today. These pictures show girls with hats, represented by Elsa Schiaparelli.
