Is everyone ready? This is mind blowing. Like, jaw dropping beauty resurrected into a bona fide fairytale costume.
Welcome, Viktor and Rolf SS10. Pooling resources with none other than Dazed and Confused February.
Oh the splendour. The only thing in existence more impressive than these beaut’s is the ring’s of Saturn. And these pictures. Gurt lush. And and and, the telephone call with Viktor Horstings as the remarkable couple head to Miami.
“We felt the need to attack a sweetness, and intuitively we made sketches of the voluminous shapes of a traditional ball gown,” the duo explain of the collection they entitled Credit Crunch Couture. “We wanted to destroy that perfection, so to speak - that’s really what we wanted to achieve. We were thinking about the words ’cutting’ because of the credit crunch - you hear so much about cutting budgets, so the word stuck in our minds.”
Well, all I can say is thank the high-in-the-sky lord for the Credit Crunch, because if not, who knows if the word cutting would ever have truly stuck in Mr Horsting and Mr Snoeren’s minds and persuaded them to craft my fashion fantasy. Remarkable in concept and execution.
And the pictures. They have possibly now edged their way into my top, number one editorial’s ever.
My favourite;
Magdalena Frackowiak's posture reminds me of the Jack-in-the-box and doll sequence from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. She looks fabulous; relaxed and fun. The studio is the perfect backdrop, no fuss. Let the dresses and a model of the moment do the talking. Oh those gloves, and the bows!
I love how Dazed have managed to achieve perfect harmony between the true inspiration behind the dresses. The deconstruction, destruction, of tradition.
The hair, the simple make-up, enhance this theme perfectly. Who needs jewellery when your skin shimmers like the moon.
“Thrillingly impractical mutilation of tulle”
I genuinely, cannot put it better myself. I dare you not to witness true beauty:
