More screen caps! I may be going a little nuts with these but as you can see I've good reason! I posted about Viktor & Rolfs giant tulle creations the other day and Ang of Dorothea's Closet pointed me to the video of the show which I of course watched. The thing about photos is you can't see profiles or the back of the clothes and so much glorious detail can be missed. While these aren't crisp shots I still think they are worth a look to see how these ingenious tulle sculptures appear from different angles, especially the cut-outs. How on earth did they get such a precise edge into such a layered thickness? It would be like being given a box cutter and a phone book and being told to cut a perfect hole into it.
Here's the show if you want to see how the dresses move (of course you do!),and it features a pregnant Roisin Murphy with baby fully concealed in an expansive tulle cape, of course, singing opposite a giant, illuminated globe, of course!
Wendy Brandes commented that she would wear this dress, which she called 'Swiss Cheese' - someone find her one, I have to see that!
I love how we can see the girl behind her through her skirt!
This collection pretty much sums up everything I love about fashion. It looked beautiful and the construction was mindblowing! Hope you're having a wonderful day :)

Well this surely fuels my fashion fantasy in the most ultra-huge way but, ...how will any one share space?
How will it translate to real life?
..and did they get their inspiration from the Wisconsin cheese-heads screaming at the football games?
I really need to know.

Viktor & Rolf are definitely the masters of stunning presentations... and they definitely take a crazy idea and build on it... but the question remains: who will buy and wear these in real life? Of course, I am loving all this tulle. ;0
