The Lobster Dress (1937) by Elsa Schiaparelli and
Salvador Dali is one of the early 21st instances, and
remains forever timeless, where art said ‘hello’ to
fashion. The organza dress designed by Schiaparelli
featured a painted lobster by Dali, an unlikely match
between a fashion garment and a surrealist painting.
[FYI: The crustacean made a sneak appearance in
2010 on Lady Gaga’s head as a diamond-encrusted
hat (for want of a better word!) And a golden
lobster embellishment on the editor-in-chief of
American Vogue, Anna Wintour’s Prada dress in 2012.]
