She moved to Paris and worked closely with the Surrealists which helped to bring the energy and principles of architecture, sculpture, and painting into fashion. The result of this new energy was the uniting of these disciplines and the envisioning of an eclectic approach to designing. Fashion had become Surrealism's irresistible friction between what was ordinary and what was extraordinary, between ornamentation and disfigurement, body and concept, and what was real and unreal. The relationship between fashion and art can become a very intimate one, but there are still some inherent differences. The creation of art is usually private and created by an individual.
Fashion is public and created by the designers, manufactures, wearer, and the viewer.
Time, reflection and thought are required to create art. Fashion's requirements are instantaneous- a flash of color, a certain shape, a new concept to be loved or jeered. Both fashion and art can represent the current interest or movement in ways that are powerful and surprising. Not all people are artists, but all people get dressed everyday. This allows fashion to be a creative outlet.
