Elsa Schiaparelli is known for popularizing hot pink and bringing surrealism to clothing and accessories.

Hot pink would be nothing without Schiaparelli. The stylist, who named and popularized the color, became known for bringing surrealism to clothing and accesories in the fashion world. What Elsa Schiaparelli played became a work of art. And the Mus&eacute;e des Arts D&eacute;coratifs in Paris knows this very well. No wonder, this season, the place presents a retrospective of Elsa's legacy.
Titled "Shocking: The Surreal World of Elsa Schiaparelli", the exhibition will present the designer's creations alongside works signed by Salvador Dal&iacute;, Jean-Michel Frank, Meret Oppenheim and Alberto Giacometti. It will also have original sketches from the vast collection donated by Schiaparelli to the French Customs Union, which is maintained by the museum.

Visitors will be able to (re)discover the stylist's visionary designer through the pieces' connections with the art world. Even dresses, casual and elegant clothes, jewlery, accessories and perfumes will give those present the extension of Elsa Schiaparelli's talent and work.
"In today's modern world, which sees and obvious direct link between fashion and art, Elsa Schiaparelli, a self-styled 'inspired' seamstress, appears now more than ever as a woman of our time," the Mus&eacute;e des ASrts D&eacute;coratifs said in a statement.
"For two decades, Elsa Schiaparelli has lived and breathed avant-garde fashion, using it as aa playing field to reinvent woman and femininity, style and spirit, with a work of life that remains suprisingly modern. She embodied the vision of a radiant and vibrant Paris with insatiable curiosity, delighting in all that was new."

The exhibition runs from July 6th to January 22nd, in Paris, France.
