Viktor & Rolf RTW Fall 2015

Drawing the final curtain on their ready-to-wear business which they decided to halt in favor of couture Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren clearly had already turned the page, as evidenced by the boisterous evening looks in their fall lineup.

Brocades and glossy technical fabrics were most prominently featured; they appeared on big, wavy cocktail dresses that were asymmetrically cut, with parts of the fabrics hanging loosely on the side, as well as on a series of off-kilter tops with piles of frills worked into their bodices, some even sweeping the floor.

The result was tricky, but it got more interesting as the duo addressed daytime dressing. A pair of beautifully curved samurai pants styled with a boxy T-shirt that was gently sliced at midlength were the winners here.
