"VIKTOR & ROLF" Full Show Spring Summer 2014 Haute Couture Paris by Fashion Channel
- 10 years ago
The Viktor & Rolf Haute Couture collection, for spring summer 2014, looked more like a dress rehearsal for a ballet performance at Lincoln Center than a couture show, where frizzy haired dancers wore flesh colored Latex as they walked in pointe shoes down the runway.
The tune was much lighter, airy even, and the palette was awash with shades of romantic pastel pink. On behalf of those theatrics — which were as much a stage for the label's latest fragrance, Bonbon, as they were for the clothes — Viktor & Rolf described the collection simply as "feminine." Much like with the ballet itself, we can thing of no better word to summarize these delicate and draped designs.
Featherweight fluttering fabrics, built-in bra tops and softly knotted and pleated fabrics made for the collection's leotard and ballet costume-inspired looks. While surface embellishments were minimal, the designers' team impressed with what they were able to achieve with Latex, not exactly a fabric that is easy to work with, especially when trying to create fluid looks.
