Body-hugging, skintight silhouettes are combined with fluid draperies while the sugary sweet colour palette consists of skintones and soft pinks. To counterbalance the sweetness, the collection is entirely executed in latex - a material chosen for its close resemblance to skin.
Embellishments, reminiscent of tattoos, are all hand-painted. The tattooed decorations are trompe l'oeils, inspired by clothing elements like bows and ruffles – as such they perform a surreal function.
Two-dimensional painted bows uphold three-dimensional latex draperies; painted ruffles adorn hems of skirts; a painted draped bodice mimicks a couture corset.
The atmosphere of the show is ethereal, intimate and soft. The Dutch National Ballet ballerinas walking on point emphasize a sense of personal freedom and artistic elevation.
The meticulous craftsmanship and highly technical structure of virtually seemless garments render them as a second skin. Interior netting supports the structure, hidden seams and the latex’s technical properties. The simplicity of each piece is a result of technical pattern-cutting, which creates an effortless and body-conscious mirage.
With the finale of the show, Viktor&Rolf proudly unveil their new feminine fragrance: Bonbon. Bonbon is a timeless sensation inviting a pure and absolute pursuit of pleasure.
Seduced by an auto-erotic sensory experience, she who wears Bonbon, dresses herself in perfume whilst creating her own story. This self-indulgent moment belongs exclusively to her. She is empowered, beautiful and complete.
