Viktor & Rolf purveyors of elaborate style and exotic design, are as much known for their works of art as they are for fashion.
They sculpt their designs by distorting proportions creating high collars and elaborate draping to hide the body, making it seemingly vanish into the sculpture.
Always adding to the fabrics, Viktor & Rolf often use ornamentation that mocks accessories, including Christmas trees balls, colorful tinsel garlands, and pleated Pierrot collars.
This is a clear indication of their reputation to shock and challenge fashion and remain with the forerunners of originality.Their creation of the unusual atomic bomb, for example, was a shrewd combination of extreme fashion and art.
The costume had the model's head resting on top of a huge mushroom form, a chiffon blouse inflated with brightly colored balloons, jackets with neon mink dots, and a black-and-white collection shown under scant neon light in a dark room. |
