Salvador Dali was a famous Spanish Artist, who fashioned the way of a Surrealist Lifestyle.
He impacted the fashion world in many ways, collaborating with creme de la creme of the fashion world. From Vogue to Dior, his collaborations were loud, and recieved great acclaim and severe criticism.
His own style was exotic, with obvious Arabic roots, he loved extravagance and lavish materials. Never one to blend anywhere, he sported an unforgettable mustache that defied gravity.
DALI and VOGUE
Dali was comissioned to do several VOGUE cover illustrations and it is
interesting to see classic "Dali Style" with a fashion twist. Salvador Dali
even acted as Guest Editor, for one issue of VOGUE.

DALI and DIOR
Dali collaborated with Dior to create a vision of what women would look like in 2045.
This mint green gown was titled, Costume for 2045.
It was a fashion statement predicting future women as over civilized and would need a crutch for moral and spiritual support.
Amusing enough, mint green is currently "trendy" and a "moral crutch"
seems rather handy for a society booming with powerful women. One
thing I find interesting was his choice of the dress silhouette. It is rather
conservative for Dali, and unimaginative in the sense that it represents
the past more than the future.

DALI and SCHIAPARELLI
Dali collaborated with fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli, creating a
white silk gown with a giant red lobster painted by himself. He also created
a shoe-shaped hat, a belt, perfume bottles and numerous textile designs.

I love the Dali museum in Tampa, Florida.
