Viktor & Rolf A/W 2007
[b]Talking point:[/b] With the models hitched up to heavy metal bars and forced to carry lights and speakers while walking down the catwalk in high-heeled clumpy clogs, the front row wasn’t concerned so much by the clothes, but by the fact it seemed impossible the show would close without at least one major accident.
[b]The clothes:[/b] Inspired by Dutch folklore, the high necklines, low hems and acres of excess material gave the collection a demure, downbeat feel.
[b]The idea:[/b] ‘To turn every model into a fashion show of her own,’ explained Rolf Snoeren. ‘To turn the fashion show into a look and to turn the clothes into a show.’
