Simply Fab: Viktor & Rolf Rosé Sauvage

FabSugar — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 03:00:22 -0800

Viktor & Rolf, the Dutch designers well-known for turning things upside down, have lent their unique abilities to Rémy Cointreau's Champagne house Piper Heidsieck to create Viktor & Rolf Rosé Sauvage.

In true V&R style, the champagne bottle's bottom becomes its top, and its back becomes the front. The accompanying ice bucket and champagne flutes share a similar illusion, with the flute turning upside down into a cocktail glass. What a cool idea!

Freaky or Fabulous? Viktor & Rolf Dolls

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 13:00:22 -0700

Viktor & Rolf have always set themselves apart with their Dutch eccentricity and experimental runways. They came onto the scene in 1996 and delivered their creations as art, or more accurately, as an art installation. For an upcoming retrospective, instead of featuring their clothes in the normal mannequin format, this dynamo duo chose something more . . . freaky.

Raise your hand if dolls freak you out a little bit? With their pale stillness and beady eyeballs, dolls have gotten a bad rap (Chucky, hello?). Fifty-five lucky dolls are to be decked out in V&R garb fashioned for an exhibit at the Barbican Art Gallery in London. The dolls will also be all prinked up with full hair and makeup. In Sunday's New York Times Magazine, Viktor Horsting elaborated, “Every garment is like a couture garment. Everything was scaled down - the embroideries, the prints, all the accessories.” This one wins fabulous to me, by a doll hair, what say you?

Paris Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Viktor & Rolf

FabSugar — Wed, 03 Oct 2007 12:30:22 -0700

After last season, when models walked out attached to their own personal lighting apparatuses, I was curious to see what gimmick Viktor & Rolf would come up with next.

Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren are romancing the harlequin for Spring: Pierrot collars, pom-poms, diamond shapes, and violins were choice motifs. The pretty palette was Chanel-inspired: black, white, blushing pink and peach. There were a couple trademark fashion-as-surrealist-art outfits - the ruffled pink coat which framed the model's face with a white rosette and pink violin, for instance.

But as the models emerged from a gaping mouth, it was clear that Viktor & Rolf was going more commercial. Wearable silk minidresses with lace collars and multiple beautiful tiered gowns were red carpet-ready. Even the violin theme was toned down to a lace appliqué or a necklace. Subtle Viktor & Rolf, but the Amsterdam-based fashion brand still astounds.
