Dali Tribute

May 2004 marked the 100th anniversary of the birth of the artistic genius Salvador Dalí. Scabal wanted to pay tribute in its own way to this Spanish artist.

Scabal has a thing about art and Dalí. More than thirty years ago, Scabal commissioned Dalí to make 12 paintings about his view of clothes of the then still futuristic 3rd millennium.

The paintings that Dalí made for Scabal inspired Scabal's fabric designers to create 12 comparable fabrics. What at first glance looks like a classic light fabric turns out on closer inspection to be a play of irregular stripes and daring colour accents. "We went to work more frivolously than we usually do," says Michael Day from Scabal's creative department. We wanted to faithfully reproduce the innovative and groundbreaking character of Dalí's style in this collection. The fabric is a Super 120's wool with cashmere and has a weight of 320gram. We deliberately kept it affordable because we think that every loyal Scabal customer should be able to share the enjoyment of this tribute to Dalí."

This fabric collection, which has been called "Tribute to Dalí", has been presented in an international avant-première at the Pitti Immagine Uomo in Florence in June 2004.
