Surrealism Revisited: 5 Essential Books to Decode Fashion's Fascination in 2025
As the surreal resurfaces across runways, we round up key coffee table titles to leave your living room a little bit chicer In times of uncertainty, it's only natural that we turn to dreamscapes. History has shown that periods of seismic shifts often bring a renewed appetite for the surreal—narratives that bend reality, embrace the uncanny, and allow us to reimagine the world as we know it. Today, surrealism is living a double life—not only alive in the art world, but reinvented on the runway. From Daniel Roseberry's fantastical Schiaparelli couture, with its golden lungs and cosmic bustiers, to Jonathan Anderson's distorted forms at Loewe and Simon Porte Jacquemus' playful experiments with scale, surrealist language is everywhere. Even Rahul Mishra, with his sculptural embroidery and dreamlike couture, taps into this sensibility—transforming nature into surreal landscapes stitched in gold and silk. What began as a radical art movement in the early 20th century now shapes the way fashion tells stories in 2025. If you've found yourself captivated by this resurgence, the following five books serve as companions for decoding the surrealist threads running through both art and fashion today. 1. Shocking! The Art and Fashion of Elsa Schiaparelli The legacy of surrealism in fashion begins here. This richly illustrated volume explores Elsa Schiaparelli's collaborations with Salvador Dalí and Jean Cocteau, where couture became a canvas for dream logic. Today, Roseberry's revival of the house continues her tradition of the fantastical. View this post on Instagram A post shared by SCHIAPARELLI ARCHIVE (@ 2. Remedios Varo: The Mexican Years – Luis-Martín Lozano While European surrealism often dominates the conversation, Remedios Varo's paintings—full of mysticism, alchemy, and feminine archetypes, offer a different vision. Her work resonates deeply with contemporary fashion's fascination with storytelling and spirituality, from Loewe's ethereal stagings to Jacquemus' dreamlike narratives.

Sufism & Surrealism – Adonis In this seminal text, Syrian poet Adonis bridges Islamic mysticism and surrealist poetics, revealing surprising parallels between two traditions of dream, metaphor, and the unseen. For today's global fashion landscape—where Schiaparelli's epic couture resonates strongly with audiences in the Middle East—this book offers a philosophical lens that enriches our understanding of surrealism's universal pull.

Frankenstein in Baghdad – Ahmed Saadawi Set in post-invasion Baghdad, this award-winning novel tells of a corpse stitched together from war's debris that comes to life. Haunting yet darkly humorous, it mirrors fashion's fascination with fragmentation and reconstruction—recalling Maison Margiela's deconstructive approach, where garments are pulled apart and reassembled into something uncanny and new. Saadawi reminds us that surrealism is not only an aesthetic, but also an allegory for living in fractured times. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Maison Margiela (@maisonmargiela) 5. Magritte: The Treachery of Images – Exhibition Catalogue (LACMA) René Magritte's iconic bowler hats, apples, and pipes continue to inspire designers who thrive on playful distortion. Loewe's balloon heels, Jacquemus' giant handbags, even trompe l'oeil embroidery on Schiaparelli gowns—all are echoes of Magritte's challenge to see the familiar anew. This volume is a visual reminder that the surreal often hides in plain sight. View this post on Instagram A post shared by JACQUEMUS (@jacquemus) Bonus Read: Balenciaga | Kublin (Ana Balda & María Kublin, 2024) Though not explicitly tied to surrealism, this recent release is an exquisite reminder of fashion's ability to construct alternate realities. Showcasing the collaborative work of photographer Tom Kublin and Cristóbal Balenciaga in post-war Paris, the book is filled with rarely seen photographs and film material. If surrealism stretched the imagination through distortion and dream, Balenciaga and Kublin shaped it through pure elegance and precision. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Julen Morrás Azpiazu (@julen_morras_azpiazu) From Fiction to Fashion Surrealism has always thrived on instability, offering a dream logic when reality feels uncertain. Hence it feels so current amid 2025—alive in museums and reborn on the runway. But as the Balenciaga | Kublin volume reminds us, fashion's dialogue with art has never been one-dimensional. Whether through the uncanny visions of Magritte and Varo, the mysticism of Adonis, or the photographic elegance of Kublin, fashion is revealed as more than clothing: it is a stage for the imagination, where art and life constantly intertwine.

300-year-old violin to star at UK classical music festival
One of the most valuable violins in the world, crafted three centuries ago and once owned by composer Niccolo Paganini, is to be played at a top UK classical music festival. The violin, known as the Carrodus, is one of only around 150 made by Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesu known to have survived down the centuries, and was acquired by a philanthropic group for $20 million in June. It was crafted in 1743 in Cremonia, northern Italy, and will be played for the first time as part of the BBC Proms by South Korean violinist Inmo Yang. The violin once owned by Italian virtuoso Paganini will be seen on August 28 at London's Royal Albert Hall. "I can't believe how lucky I am to have this instrument. This is easily one of the greatest instruments ever made," Yang, who is also making his debut at the Proms, told AFP. "I feel a duty to take good care of the instrument and make a beautiful sound, so that people know that it's worth playing these instruments rather than having them in a vault in a museum." The Stretton Society, a network of philanthropists, patrons and sponsors that has loaned the violin to Yang, seeks to acquire rare and valuable instruments to lend to the world's leading musicians. Guarneri was one of the most important violin makers of all time, alongside Italian luthier Antonio Stradivari, said the society's co-founder Stephan Jansen. Whereas Stradivari made instruments for the Church and the nobility, Guarneri's violins were made for musicians, and they became renowned for their deep and sonorous tones, Jansen said. "Inmo is one of the finest musicians of his generation," Jansen told AFP. The instrument's sound is also "quite unpredictable", he said, and "this kind of capricious nature really gives more liveliness to the piece". "Thinking that Paganini used this instrument is kind of spiritual, and I think people also want to hear Paganini's music played on his own violin," Yang added.

Palestinian artists Alaa Shehada and Sami Abu Wardeh win awards at Edinburgh Fringe
Stories of Palestinian resistance and life under Israeli military occupation have won awards at this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe in Scotland. Palestinian artists Alaa Shehada and Sami Abu Wardeh were among the winners recognised for their solo productions at one of the world's largest arts festivals. Actor and writer Shehada won the Fringe First award, organised by Scottish newspaper The Scotsman, for his solo show The Horse of Jenin. Comedian Abu Wardeh received the Heart Award for Palestine: Peace de Resistance as part of the Besties – awards run by Scottish arts publications and theatre partners. Both shows are being staged at the Pleasance Dome, with the festival to end on August 25. In The Horse of Jenin, Shehada traces the story of a horse sculpture once found in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin. The structure, built in 2003 using wreckage from an Israeli attack a year earlier, was a symbol of resistance for Palestinians, before Israeli forces used a bulldozer to remove it in 2023. Throughout the 70-minute set, Shehada weaves in personal stories, humour and tragedy to reflect on what became of the remains of the horse and the loss of his childhood friend Ahmed in the West Bank. In its review, The Scotsman praised Shehada's exuberant performance while hailing the show as 'a terrific tale of Palestinian life, laughter and tragedy under unimaginable pressure". Shehada welcomed the award on Instagram, saying the show's theme has never been more urgent. 'The show tells a story that has always mattered, and never more so," he said. "As the genocide in Gaza and the West Bank continues, and the occupation of Palestine persists, we must keep amplifying Palestinian voices, preserving culture and advocating for justice, freedom and an end to the violence." The critical acclaim, bolstered by the award, has led to additional performances being scheduled during the festival, including extra shows on August 22 and 23. Irish-Palestinian comedian Sami Abu Wardeh also received an accolade for Palestine: Peace de Resistance, a stand-up show weaving character sketches and physical theatre as it examines whether comedy is a viable form of resistance. Inspired by his life as a Palestinian born in exile, the show merges barbed political satire with absurdist elements such as hand puppetry and outlandish caricatures. In awarding the Heart Award at the Besties, Louis Cammell, deputy editor of Fest magazine, which co-runs the award, described the show as 'passionate, epic and very funny". Abu Wardeh took to social media to announce his victory: 'Winner! Bestie Award for Heart. Thank you to everyone who made this possible.' The Edinburgh Festival Fringe traditionally takes place every August across the Scottish capital and features more than 3,000 productions.
