Viktor & Rolf aren't known for their plays with subtlety. Last season, models strutted down the runway donning a knight-like theme with faces caked in red paint — which many critics found to be a bit jarring.
This season is all the glitz without the grit. The designer pair opted to show models with a more doll-like demeanor by dressing them in bright colors, structured silhouettes, and massive bright pink eyelashes, to boot. Each piece was either neon, metallic, or exceptionally oversized — and most were adorned with thick, decorative stitching.
Everything about the show was larger than life, and it gave the distinct impression of (very chic) paper dolls. While it was especially entertaining, the show may have missed the mark for the transition from runway to everyday fashion.
