98 year old dobri dobrev, a man who lost his hearing in the second world war, walks 10 kilometers from his village in his homemade clothes and leather shoes to the city of sofia, where he spends the day begging for money.
though a well known fixture around several of the city’s chruches, known for his prostrations of thanks to all donors, it was only recently discovered that he has donated every penny he has collected — over 40,000 euros — towards the restoration of decaying bulgarian monasteries and churches and the utility bills of orphanages, living instead off his monthly state pension of 80 euros.
there’s still good in this world

Evening dress
Elsa Schiaparelli (Italian, 1890–1973), summer 1937, French, silk.
The butterfly was the Surrealist symbol for change, particularly the change from ugly to beautiful. As the unlovely caterpillar morphs into the brilliant colorful butterfly, so Schiaparelli’s designs could transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.
This evening dress design from the summer 1937 collection features a lively butterfly print, most likely made exclusively for Schiaparelli that expresses the wide array of types and colorations of butterflies and was inspired by Surrealist artists such as Salvador Dalí, Max Ernst and Man Ray. Schiaparelli shared many Surrealist views with these artists and often used her designs as a means to express these views. Besides the act of using the Surrealist symbol for change as the subject of the print, using an insect as decoration for evening wear, an unexpected choice in itself, is also surrealist-inspired. The neckline treatment is an example of Schiaparelli’s playful yet sculptural design sense and assists in giving the dress its compelling visual appeal. | THE MET
