She was the first artist not to be afraid of bringing surreal elements into her clothes. Andrew Bolton says: "Schiaparelli worked in the 1939s, in the golden age of surrealism and I think the surrealist strategies of moving objects, the idea of ​​playing with dimensions was something that Schiaparelli's sense of playfulness really appealed to and his idea of ​​trying to expand the boundaries of fashion and what we mean by fashion" (Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations). Schiaparelli became even more popular thanks to her collaboration with Salvador Dalì. He believed that fashion was also an art form. Victoria Pass wrote that Schiaparelli was "the woman raging against the sky, creating a revolutionary style, blurring the lines between art and fashion (Pass, 1981). The author added regarding Schiaparelli's style: "Schiaparelli and the surrealists used both the mysterious fusion of incongruous elements to create a convulsive beauty. This shared aesthetic connects Schiaparelli to Surrealism much more deeply than most fashion and art historians have yet acknowledged" (Pass, 2011 p234). Partly as a result of his collaboration with Dali, Surreal fashion was explored, developed and practiced by many current artists to this day
