Despite wearing a surreal outfit, feminism is still the core point of view expressed by the creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri.

The protagonist of this show is Leonor Fini, one of the few female artists in the surrealist art movement. However, Leonor Fini does not want to be labeled, especially surrealism. One of the founders of surrealism, André Breton, is known as “The Misogyny,” and feels that women cannot have a central place in the arts. Dali also quoted Fini's artwork as saying: "Perhaps better than most people, but the real genius is in men (Better than most, perhaps. But talent is in the balls)."
