This powerful synergy across art, sports and pop culture transforms the entire city into an extended exhibition space.

Naked mermaids and prancing horses, silk carrots and unshelled peanuts, gilded elephant trunks, drums and masks are just a few of the buttons. The V&A's lavish spring show is a weird and wonderful tumble down the rabbit hole that is Schiaparelli, fashion's house of surrealism.

Scopin's decision to room at the Hotel Chelsea was a matter of frugality, reflecting a serious class system within the ornate 12-story building.

Textiles are a window into the communities that created them, with every motif and line signalling a different memory, tradition or identity.
