Iconoclastic, insolent and unpredictable, Salvador Dali was above all innovative, extravagant and mystical. One of the most renowned artists of our time, he still provides inspiration to our contemporaries. The famous lips created by Salvador Dali have continued to inspire artists in all domains, including Philippe Starck, John Galliano, Prada, Paul Smith, Poilane (furniture made of bread), Boucheron and Serge Gainsbourg, who spent three days alone in the master's Parisian apartment. Gainsbourg was fascinated by this incredibly offbeat universe, which had a lifelong impact on him: "It was through his influence that I discovered luxury – the immense, unbridled poetry of luxury. It was an amazing revelation."
