Hi! A while back I had a Dali tie and couldn't find the source of the sketches depicted and I was able to get lots of fantastic help here. I come again with another Dali item! Not quite the same vein as the ties, but still pretty cool.
I tried to research this International Silk Congress event in 1950 and found George C Marshall created or commissioned a film of the Silk Congress which was used as part of the roster of films promoting the Marshall Plan. http://www.marshallfilms.org/filminfo.asp?id=WOS-1
The write up mentions a fashion show which I'll bet was fabulous.....anyway, anyone have thoughts on how to find out how Dali was involved? Any other input, suggestions on how to research more, etc, would be great.
While we're at it, what do you guys see? Mothlady represents, what....the couture/fashion end of silk as a product? The center item...an egg? And do you think I am correct in seeing this as custom done for the event?
I'd love any input you guys can give, I cant find anything like this online at all. Thanks!!! Ang
