Viktor & Rolf Catwalk Fashion Show ss2010

Off course Viktor & Rolf’s ss2010 collection had everything to do with their new perfume Eau Mega. Their new scent – fresh & elegant – was not only a gift for the audience, the motto “megafy yourself’ also underlined their collection: mega-dresses, mega-make-up and mega-hair – all with a nodd to the eighties. The designers are attracted and inspired by what they call mega-women: strong women who follow their own path and are uncompromisingly themselves. For that reason the duo invited Roisin Murphy to perform live at the show. Thick layers of tulle played a major – mega – part in the collection, appearing as colorful ruffles outlining black jackets and dresses or as wide long skirts in eveningdresses with holes cutout by a laser. Tulle was also draped as a thin layer in a different color to black (one shoulder) dresses. Viktor & Rolf also had their boudoir-moment – as seen in Milan and at the first days in Paris – and translated that in silky pyjamalike suits, loose jackets and softly draped trousers in pastelshades embroidered with a patchwork of flowers. The impact on the public was, well, mega.

The Art of Fashion & Peter Stigter

The fading boundaries between art and fashion were the starting point for the Art of Fashion exhibition in museum Boymans van Beuningen in Rotterdam, Five international designers were asked to design an item for this exhibition in which art and fashion were brought together. Although fashion sometimes seems superficial, it is more than wearing the right colour or skirt length. Fashion is a reflection of society and times we’re living in. Fashion is nowadays often even a form of art, and they both influence each other.
Viktor & Rolf, Naomi Filmer, Hussein Chalayan, Walter van Beirendonck and Anna-Nicole Ziesche all put the idea of a wearable collection aside, used their imagination and came up with various designs. These five designers were chosen because they all were already exploring the boundaries of fashion in their own designs. Viktor & Rolf, for example, used a model wearing her own light and music installation for their a/w 07-08 fashion show. According to Jose Teunissen, the conservator, this particular design is a perfect example and therefore iconic for the whole exhibition. That’s also the reason why the museum decided to use Peter Stigter’s catwalkimage of this particular model to promote the Art of Fashion exhibition in the Netherlands. (Tess van Daelen)
