This spring, surrealism blooms in nearly every form. From Elsa Schiaparelli’s whimsical fashions to Peter Marino’s sparkling Tiffany & Co. objects, the season shows that art, style, and imagination are flowering in extraordinary ways.

ELSA TAKES LONDON AS THE V&A OPENS THE FIRST UK EXHIBITION FOR SCHIAPARELLI

It’s nearly impossible to identify an exhibition surrounding the world of fashion that doesn’t include Elsa Schiaparelli. As an audacious designer who redefined style from the 1920s to today, it seems that fashion’s most surreal visionary still knows how to make a scene. This March, the V&A is giving Schiaparelli her UK debut with an expansive exhibition, titled Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art. Spanning over 200 objects—garments, accessories, jewellery, photographs, uncanny sculptures, perfumes, and archival treasures—the show charts Schiaparelli’s fearless creativity, from her radical early designs to her modern-day revival under current creative director, Daniel Roseberry. Highlights include the V&A’s Skeleton dress, the Tears dress, and the iconic upside-down shoe hat, created with Salvador Dalí, alongside works by Pablo Picasso, Jean Cocteau, and Man Ray. The exhibition also uncovers her London atelier, her independent clients, and her pioneering role as a female entrepreneur. Turning ordinary objects into extraordinary couture, blending fashion, art, and performance with playful intelligence, Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art proves that her surreal, boundary-breaking vision continues to inspire—and challenge—the state of fashion.

PETER MARINO FINDS A SILVER LINING WITH HIS TREASURED TIFFANY & CO. COLLECTION

This April, architect Peter Marinois is putting out his best silver with a new tome that spotlights his private collection of Tiffany & Co. Presented by Phaidon, Tiffany Silver: The Peter Marino Collection is a lavish dive into one of the most dazzling private silver stashes in design. The oversized, glossy tome sparkles with more than 130 images, revealing the sculptural brilliance and technical wizardry that made Tiffany & Co. a cornerstone of American decorative arts. From teapots that pour personality to platters that shine with sculptural flair, Marino’s collection of show-stopping objects—from Gilded butterflies fluttering across hammered surfaces, fish swim through engraved seagrass, and roses and dandelions bloom in mixed metals—proves Tiffany’s talent for turning metal into magic. With a foreword by Marino himself reflecting on collecting, honoring hand and imagination, the tome is more than a catalogue—it’s a glittering gallery that demonstrates how even in Marino’s world, spoons can also steal the spotlight.
