As part of the exploration of the fantastical worlds that Surrealism continues to inhabit, Sotheby’s invited Daniel Roseberry, the creative director of Schiaparelli to paint a picture of the impact the movement had in the fashion world. The Haute Couture house has a long history of strikingly surreal designs, with its founder Elsa Schiaparelli having been a friend of artists including Salvador Dali and Man Ray.
