Many have tried this approach. Some have failed, some have accomplished with the task; but none of them ever did it so hugely, undeniably, utterly well. Not even them themselves, until now. Not, at least, at these levels.
Viktor&Rolf got us used to amazement, awe and reverence, throughout the seasons: how to forget when they wrote NOs all over the models' faces, or those huge 3-D writings standing out from their coats; how to forget thei protest-catwalk, all digital, and with one model only ( Shalom, in case you had forgotten ). But this goes far beyond anything they've ever achieved: surely Viktor&Rolf, with their latest collection, hit a whole new level of...well, of "this".
Since there seem to be no more words to describe their sheer genious work, i'll just leave you with a selection of the most magnificent pieces from the show.
Yay. It seems like the Fashion+Art blend found a new God. Or, two, to be precise :)
