The last collection by Viktor & Rolf for Fall 2019 Haute Couture was a totally different kind of visual juxtaposition. The inspiration was on the moody side with the opulent textures that appeared like a fabricated wool-hybrids. And this collection was a totally heterogenic aesthetic than the previous ones. The lack of vibrant chromatic solutions that are so essential for Viktor & Rolf design in this collection was so present. It seems that this collection was more on the story-telling side with the large introspective and introverted vibes.
This only shows how the idea that is the main "Spiritus Movens" or "Alpha and Omega" of every creative action and, especially in the context of Haute Couture, is so important. Not to mention the final result that comes in the collection. This one was opened by the dark-illuminated two-line-buttons coat a.k.a gown in the Tim Burton kind of mannerism. The dark opulence was enhanced with the extravagant makeup and edgy hair. The deep nocturnal kind of spirit was on the line with the next two ensembles. The same coat-dress with the cinched waist or the cascade of the three capes falling down in the more voluminous kind of form.
The big collars and overalls were there a must. The one thing that was kept vivid were the prints sequences. From the "Kinder"-drawing alike ones referring to the forest nocturnal motifs like the stars and moon to the floral and other flora and fauna ones, mashed with the graphic interruptions. These ones were brought in the context of the more vibrant colors that allure and invite to the step of the glamorous story. As the collection was going to the end, the fabrics were in the same collision as the colors. They have become lighter, satin sleek and ethereal.
This collection was definitely something new from what we used to see in the Viktor & Rolf fashion edition. Seems that with every collection they go in other kind direction, alluring the thing that has become so quintessential to their design Couture vision. And that is to tell a story, be bold and still keep their fashion signature! And they have done it successfully!
What do you think about this Fall 2019 Couture collection? Do you like the aesthetic of it? Which ensemble do you find the most interesting?
Thank you for your attention!
