Showstoppers F/W 06.07: Viktor & Rolf

The Dutch fashion duo doesn't know where the brakes are, now do they? But that certainly is not a bad thing as far as I am concerned. For this season they produced the poshest collection out there, focusing on the class and elegance of the women of the fifties.


They showed the ladylike look which we have seen of so much in the past few years, but this time it had a little twitch. All the models were wearing masks so that we couldn't completely see their faces. And at the end of the collection, the looks turned completely metallic.

Some people have uttered that Viktor & Rolf should stop trying to be avant-garde, but I don't get this at all. Who says they're trying? What if they just are?

Apart from the superchic clothes they also showed really nice accesoiries. Rich jewelry and desirable shoes passed along on the runway. They way they played several fabrics was very luxurious as well.

Such as in this coat where they sort of cropped the sleeves. There were more extreme versions of this treatment with sleeves completely existing of this cropping but I think this coat is the most beautiful. All in all they won my vote once again with this collection.
