HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!

The countdown has finished and we’re now well into the year 2010. I want to start out my first blog post of the New Year on a fun and light hearted note. Here is a video of one my favourite runway shows of the S/S 2010 season by Dutch designers Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren, Viktor & Rolf.

The designers call this collection “credit card crunch couture” where they literally cut apart ballroom dresses and used its remnants to create new garments that are whimsical, fun and gives off an all around good feeling as you see it come down the runway. The vivid colours, materials used and cut-out shapes show the inventiveness and originality the design duo possesses. Looks like Vikor & Rolf had a lot of fun tearing apart deconstructing these dresses.

To add, pairing the showing of this collection with a live musical performance by Roisin Murphy was a great idea, you can download the song here.
