Talk about a literal interpretation, Viktor & Rolf’s Fall 2009 collection looked straight out of the Greco-Roman sculpture exhibit at the MET. Draped sleeves, draped pants, draped coats, draped skirts…even draped hair! Stone-like gray prints and metallic color block fabrics were reminiscent of the Greek sculptures which sat on the background of the runway. The overly literal interpretation was a bit too cliche in my books, but hey, beautiful craftsmanship is beautiful craftsmanship. And the whole white painted face thing…please don’t.
