Windows into the Surreal FIDM’s 5 th floor windows celebrate the surreal work of Elsa Schiaparelli BY H a m i s h B o w l e s
“Madder and more original than most of her contemporaries, Mme Schiaparelli is the one to whom the word ‘genius’ is applied most often,” Time magazine wrote of its cover subject in 1934.[1] Coco Chanel once dismissed her rival as “that Italian artist who makes clothes.” (To Schiaparelli, Chanel was simply “that milliner.”)
In the thirties, her peak creative period, her salon overflowed with the wild, the whimsical, and even the ridiculous. \with padlocks. Monkey fur and zippers (newfangled in the thirties) were everywhere. “Dare to be different,”[7] is the advice she offered to women. Pace-setters and rule-breakers waved that flag through the sixties, the seventies, and beyond.
Indeed, Schiaparelli—“Schiap” to friends—stood out among her peers as a true nonconformist, using clothing as a medium to express her unique ideas.

Pikac hu’s new honor as ambassador is a clever promotional tactic to win Japan the chance to host Expo 2025, even though Expo 2020 hasn’t rolled around yet. T h e Wo r l d E x p o , a g a t h e r i n g t o d i s c u s s “ u n i v e r s a l c h a l l e n g e s o f o u r t i m e , ” t akes place ever y five years. The Bureau Int ernational des Expositions (BIE) elects the host location of each event. Dubai is set for 2020, while France, Russia, Azerbaijan, and Japan are currently vying for the 2025 spot.

Hello Kitty has been a global phenomenon for decades,
and Pikac hu has become the pokémon equivalent of Mic key Mouse, meaning he’s ever ywhere: on your Snapchat, dancing at festivals, of fering useless advice on your Google Home or Amazon Echo. According to The Japan Times, Kōno had a reques t for Pikac hu and Hello Growth Spur t Kitty: “I would like for you t o represent Japan and proactively (promot e) the attraction of Osaka ins i d e a n d o u t s i d e o f t h e c o u n t r y. ”
