Chie Mihara shoes, H&M dress, Dali cup and saucer, Surreal Things catalog

My Chie Mihara shoes always make me think of Man Ray’s A l’heure de l’observatoire, les Amoureux.

The bodysuit that Lady Gaga wore during last week’s American Music Awards immediately reminded me of Elsa Schiaparelli’s Skeleton Dress.

Simonetta Ravizza’s fur cuffs are like embellished versions of Meret Oppenheim’s beaver fur bracelet.
