So one of the S/S 2010 shows that had me in awe was Viktor & Rolf's S/S 2010. Viktor & Rolf is just one of those houses that you have to appreciate, because they do avant-garde so well in such a understandable way that a 6 year old child can get it without the artsy-fartsy b.s. This season they basically used tulle as a starting concept, and slashed it away into gravity defying pieces.

There were the more realistic commercial pieces, which looked like more stripped down tulle pieces, which could work realistically in real life. I especially like the piece on Chanel Iman, which has a very lingerie quality to it, with the way the tulle is arranged.

Other pieces from the collection contained more optical illusions and more shock worthy, mind bending creations, such as the dress on the left, from which the audience saw only the top and bottom half of the dress, with the sliver in the middle gone. Previous collections from V&R have included clothes that have moving animations, clothes with their own lighting and music etc. They should be the ones to watch when the shows roll around in the Fall.
