I do believe that it is next to impossible to dislike a collection by Viktor & Rolf. For this collection, the spotlight was on swimsuits. Even though there have been many couture swimsuits across the decades, I have never thought of swimsuits in a good Couture-esque way. The designer duo takes on the humble garment and transforms it into countless humorous interpretations. There are references to their own iconic ideas: heavy ruffles, 3D cubic catchphrases, massive bows, and headless mannequins hanging off the models. The designers have never been shy of experimentation, and this blend of an everyday clothing item into their landmark creative motifs is somehow very typical of them, but of course, it is unexpected.

This juxtaposition and surreal surprise element that they always feature in their collections is what makes couture COUTURE. They have been able to truly capture the essence of what Couture can represent. The intention and purpose of Haute Couture need to shift as we move forward in time. Their truly artistic approach is refreshing. Titled ‘Embodiment,’ this lineup truly reflects their artistic brilliance and conceptual approach to fashion over the decades.
