Viktor and Rolf

                                           just bask in the glory that is Viktor and Rolf.

 The dress above is in a collection that was inspired by the credit crunch. The pair said that everyone else was cutting prices and things so they would cut their dresses.
 From a collection named "No" oddly. It explored how fast fashion was moving and Viktor and Rolf wanted to say no.
 Inspired by the theme "In your bed"
 From a collection named "Shalom" the actual fashion show was filmed in the Viktor and Rolf house featured on their website. It took 2 days to film as they had to use the same model for every outfit.
 This collection "Upside Down" began with the ceremonial bow from Viktor and Rolf and then the flood of clapping and smiling models. Some dresses were upside down versions of the ones before them.



 This show named "Flowerbomb" featured intimidating black helmets on the models and after they had done their circuit they sat in different positions on an industrial background. After all the models had finished the lights went dark and an electronic voice stated 5, 4, 3, 2... 1 and an explosion of sparks sent the stage revolving and a cast of brightly dresses models sat mirroring the positions of the black helmeted ones and the real FLOWER collection started to show.


 The model above is showing off an outfit from the "Ballroom Collection" which started with a couple dancing to a traditional band.

 This collection featured one model on a revolving platform and Viktor and Rolf undressed layers of strage giant poncho like pieces of clothing. The poncho was passed on to another model by Viktor and Rolf and a number of zips and ties transformed it into an entire dress with a number of magically apearing features.


 The dress above is from a show inspired by the modern woman and her "armour" for the city.

 These two dresses are in a collection which is entirely white after a collection inspred by a black hole which was all black.
