(Magritte, The Son of Man)
Other inspirations
(in order, from top to bottom: Salvador Dali’s Mae West Lips Sofa, Yves Tanguy’s Indefinite Divisibility, André Masson's Automatic Drawing, René Magritte's The Treachery Of Images, Salvador Dalí's The Persistence of Memory, Roberto Matta's Elle Loge La Folie)






How to make this wearable, you may ask?
Suspenders, men's hats, dramatic footwear (like the architectural heels Marc Jacobs and Lanvin have been creating), subdued blues and black with tiny, but bright hints of color. Also, you can get the look by translating surrealist art more literally. Case in point, wear the actual art on you shirt or accessorize with surrealist pieces.

I am a big Dali Fan. Surrealism is what fills my pipe these days.
