		Schiaparelli was also innovative in her striking contrastive colors, using orange and green, pink and green, fl and brown, and stark fl and white.
		Schiaparelli's collaborations with famous artists in the 1930s are often reduced to who stole what from whom, but according to Dilys E. Blum, Curator of Costume and Textiles, the work was "symbiotic and simultaneous," the effusion and infusion of imaginative and visual people.
		Schiaparelli's intrepid steps in design, her collaboration with the Surrealists, her insistence that daywear and clothes for sport should be comfortable and allow women easy movement, her playfulness in designing for beach and boudoir, and the elegance and invention of her evening wear for nearly thirty years are all conveyed by this beautiful exhibition.
