We Run The World (Viktor & Rolf Spring 2011 RTW)

Sometimes, i wish my vocabulary exceeded the word amazing.....Viktor & Rolf really need a word that about 3 steps up from amazing. I don't know if breath-taking will do it, but i think its somewhere around that ball park. Lets do some math., shall we? This spring 2011 RTW collection was better than breath taking but lower than wow-i-just-spilt-my-warm-milk-and-honey. And i guess the word we're looking for that describes V&R  is the variable x.

Breath Taking < x < Wow-i-just-spilt-my-warm-milk-and-honey

See mother and father, i still do some schoolwork during the summer! Ok moving on, this collection was absolutely, 100% _________ (insert x word here). From this moment on, whenever i think of high fashion, V&R is really going to be the first brand that comes to mind.

I just love how they call it ready to wear. Ok, i am SO sorry to point this out, but i don't even think Lady Gaga is ready to wear this. Ignoring that point, this last piece is pure imagination that somehow came to life. I'm still in awe at how its defying gravity, while being worn by a model, while being walked down the runway. Just look at that models face, you can barely even tell that shes about to cry! Bravo, model girl, props to you! Don't know about you guys, but i don't think that would be very comfortable to wear.

However, beauty hurts, doesn't it? You have to sacrifice to look good. In this dress's case, i think the person wearing it would have to sacrifice a) full motion in their arms b) turning around (you could easy knock a few women in heels to the ground with that thing) c) a few pounds before wearing that dress. Alas, the other pieces were complete genius. I enjoyed the the sailor vibe i was getting from most of them *besides the 2 zebra print ones, definitely NOT sailor, more like South African*. Viktor & Rolf, your on the road to perfection! I'm most definitely going to be keeping an eye out for your next collection
