Avant-garde and Surrealism really shook up the fashion world. Designers like Yohji Yamamoto and Rei Kawakubo went wild with their ideas, making clothes that were totally different from the norm. They wanted fashion to be more about art and less about following rules. Then you had Surrealist designers like Elsa Schiaparelli and Salvador Dalí, who made clothes that looked like they came from a dream. Lobster prints, shoe hats – you name it, they did it! Their bold and quirky styles still inspire designers today to break free from the usual and get creative with fashion.
