OK so temperatures have plummeted to about 2oC again but fashion designers Viktor and Rolf have taken it a bit far. They wrapped their wirey model up in 23 layers for their lastest catwalk show, legs quivering, heels shaking and no doubt ready to collapse under the strain of an oversized fur coat, that could take one of these models down on it's own. Added to the fact she may not have eaten for a few days and we should conclude that she deserves a medal for this one. Nevertheless the 'Glamour Factory' is intriguing and while I'm not big on the whole catwalk thing, it does give a pretty cool spin (literally) to what is typically just a long line of struting noodles in bizzare concotions, all ready to be dummed down for us plebs who can't pull it off.
The pieces themselves are also pretty decent, in my ignorant opinion. Huge 'shawl-like' coats are transformed into fitted, slinky coats and pencil skirts at the flick of a few zips. I quite fancy a 'shawl-coat' for myself now. Some of the look is still quite industrial, grungey, gothic with the black aviators, caps and metal buttons & zips - I wonder what the men's fashion take would be. It sends you a bit loopy when you realise all the models look like clones....
After 18 minutes the girl ends up back wrapped up for the new cold front again - poor thing.
