As Nicole Phelps of Style.com puts it, Viktor & Rolf are the performance artists of the fashion world. And I strongly agree. For Fall/Winter 2010 the spectacle was a total masterful performance, titled “Glamour Factory“, featured great clothes. The spectacle starring supermodel Kristen McMenamy, surrounded by the duo who systematically undressed her, layer by layer, then redressed other models waiting to wear the discarded clothes down the catwalk, then until she in a nude body suite, the duo attempts the reverse, dressing Kristen with the new clothes the models are wearing, all for the audience to witness. There were various crystal encrusted dresses and outwear, in black and gray, with a concentration on glamorous sporty looks. “This time around, we want to show that something can be both wearable and extreme at the same time. It goes beyond a mere idea; it is literally ready for production” said the designers.
