Suzy Solidor (1900 – 1983) was the French singer and actress whose greatest achievement was the décor of her nightclub La Vie Parisienne, decorated with thirty three pictures of herself, painted by some of the greatest known artists of the day including Pablo Picasso, George Braque, Raoul Dufy, Tamara de Lempicka, Francis Picabia and Kees van Dongen. The result? One magnificent, massive, and multifaceted self-portrait.
Even though Salvador Dali and Elsa Schiaparelli’s stark black crepe Skeleton Dress was created for the Italian designer’s February 1938 Circus Collection, it has held up particularly well from an aesthetic point of view and would create a sensation today at, say, Per Se. So don’t just push that Marscapone Enriched Parsnip "Agnolotti" around on your plate, now you can eat it, too!
No one will know the difference.
