Fashion Fame

For Fall/Winter 2010/2011 season, Paris Fashion Week just displayed what it is famous for!! The New Woman was the star of Paris pret-a-porter season. Her roles included hourglass beauty queen, clean and clear queen and, occasionally, the drama queen. Her predominance reduced skinny adolescent to an understudy on fashion’s stage. Sophistication with lots of glamor, drama and uniqueness, is what Paris Fashion Week is all about! And this season really did its job to define Parisian beauty in an unforgettable way.

There were number of shows that can be called “Attention Grabbers”. Among the top ones were Alexander McQueen, Jean Paul Gaultier, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Hermes, and Elie Saab. But how can we forget the unique and innovative designer collections that flaunted the Paris Runway! We are talking about collection by Victor & Rolf. Check this out!!

Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren are considered as performance artists of fashion world. Their Fall show, which they dubbed Glamor Factory, picked up where their Babushka collection of more than ten years ago left off. The Dutch duo displayed black and dark gray liquid outer layers that were transformed into dresses, statement coats, and skirts, highlighting collection’s versatility and malleability.

While some pieces, like heavy hipped confection above (which transformed into a cape), seemed a little over the top. Several pieces, including the oversized coats and strapless, ripped and zipped cocktails, would undoubtedly find homes in wardrobes of celebrity front row fixtures Beth Ditto and Lindsay Lohan.

Viktor & Rolf Fall 2010 Collection represented what is loved most about Paris Fashion Week. They married spectacle with practicality, beguiling and amusing audience members by their mere presence and deft handiwork while also offering a handful of very wearable, seasonless pieces. Truly anything is possible in Fashion World!!
