A little crazy is the first thought that comes to mind about Viktor and Rolf's Spring 2014 Couture Collection. It's been said that some couture collections aren't meant to be the most wearable clothes but more to promote the brands perfume and that comes to mind here. The show in and of itself was probably one of the most memorable as far as originality - the models were ballerinas cast from the Dutch National Ballet and walked the runway on pointe shoes. The clothing was comprised of flesh-toned latex and netting that gave interesting illusions of varying levels of nudity. The generally short dresses had some of the most beautiful inkwork that has ever been seen on garments - butterflies and birds that gave an almost Cinderella-vibe, appearing to be holding up the seams at the shoulders and hips. The beauty of the tattooed-ink characters was offset by slightly creepy hair (The Grudge anyone?) but again, this wasn't as much about the clothes as it was about the brand making a statement. Mission accomplished.
