Paul Klee "Ad Parnassum" (1932)
Paul Klee was a German painter born in Switzerland. He came from a family of musicians and musical traditions had a great impact on his future works. His art often allude to poetry, music and dreams. He also experimented with colors achieving in some of his painting almost a fluorescent effect.
Klee’s highly original style had its roots in Expressionism, Cubism, and early Surrealism. His works often seem simplistic, childlike, and naive. Sometimes they lean towards geometry, sometimes towards disegno, that is drawing.

The industry has always had a soft spot for the off-centre, but over the last couple of seasons, we’ve seen fashion get trippy, comical, and flat-out bizarre. 😵💫
Just as Miuccia Prada’s ugly chic revolutionised fashion in the 90s, today there seems to be an increasing appetite for #surrealism – as designers show upside down heels, bags that look like torsos, and dresses that look like toy cars. 🚗
From @yproject_official to @loewe to @schiaparelli, at the link in bio @eljosecriales breaks down how, why and when #fashion got so damn weird.

INTRODUCING HARRY BOWLES ❤️
Jessie Buckley attends her first Met Gala dressed by @rosefordestudio in head to toe @schiaparelli & donning a cartoon moustache
The inspiration was from Elsa Schiaparelli and her love of performance, theatre and surrealism and Jessie herself who is a performer and also fascinated by surrealism. So we played with their narrative & passion along with Jessie’s facial features and followed the Met’s Gilded Glamour with hints & hues of gold over the eyelids and temples and then a graphic moustache, because why not
Hair was by my co-pilot @rena.calhoun ❤️
