VIKTOR & ROLF
The spring 2010 collection the dutch designers presented more than a week ago at paris fashion week was an explotion of tulle, of fantasy and of creativity executed to perfection. Its not about going to see a show, its about getting the Víktor and Rolf experience. The shows are always so highly produced, so conceptual, so compelling and in a beautiful way, so dramatic. They take you to the Viktor & Rolf World, to the state of mind from which the inspiration comes from. Their aesthetic has always been so conceptual and the line between fashion and art has never been so blury. In 2007 The Viktor & Rolf girl was some kind of a zombie and the models came out to the runway with gigantic pillows in their heads as if they were sleepwalking. That same year for fall they made her a sinister chic women in a black biker helmut and leather trench coat but before the show had ended she had turned completely pink and had gigantic bows on her. They also took her home and got their inspiration from their dutch heritage, which resulted not only in high heel wooden clogs but with models walking the runway with enourmous light instalations that looked like they were crawling out of their backs. Their shows are so creative that sometimes there's not even a show! For fall 2009 they did a video installation to present the collection. Shalom Harlow was the only model so it seemed as if she had endless clons. I have always flirted with Víctor & Rolf but the past october 2 it became serious. I fell in love in that tent in tuileries as roising murphy sang in that pink tulle skirt dress at the back of the runway and the models walked in those chain saw masacred to perfection tulle couture garments that as Nicole Phelps say, seem to defy gravity. Viktor & Rolf are in their own words an antidote to reality
