The colors and motifs of the dress helps the designer to recaptures his earlier designs from 1939. The space the designers create using the motifs are evenly spaced for a great design form. The shape of the design is does not allow loose movement, but works well for the artistic fashion concept used in the movie. The vibrant colors, design form, line structure, space and shape of the dress allow all who are not artist to see the beauty within the design and appreciated the design.

It was made in 1947 for real-life wear. It is an example of Adrian’s refusal to accept fussy French clothing for American women and their active lives. Using the Dali print was Adrian’s way of having fun with it, nothing more. The unstructured garment construction was the important thing. This dress has nothing to do with the 1930s or movies.

The print is pure Dali, and the entire dress is rather fitting for the 1930s starlet - bold and fascinating, but with a hint of sophistication and innocence.

As far as I'm concerned, never had there been or ever will be a time where artists were so intertwined with eachother that the only outcome literally transformed both worlds as we see them today. As far as the movement goes, Adrian was far from the hub...and so, it's fascinating to see that this dress can stand alone as a representative of this movement.

It depicts that fashion is a form of art and art is a form of fashion. Dali by all means is not a traditional artisit in mind, thought, and creativity, but his appreciation for fashionable textiles is extraordinary. A potential exhibit could be that of "traditional artistic" influence in textiles of fashion garments. This Adrian piece, in particular, stood out to me out of the whole exhibit.
