Salvador Dalí influenced fashion through his collaborations with Elsa Schiaparelli that included elements of Surrealism. The pair used unusual prints, materials and embellishments to create designs unlike anything else produced at the time. One example is the silk A-line emblazoned with a lobster that Wallis Simpson wore in a 1937 issue of Vogue. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Salvador Dalí art.
