I will always love their very specific brand of clown couture that only they can pull off

"The Walking Dead Turds"...specially this one, which looks like "Haute Manure":

Probably the least contrived collection I've ever seen from them. But still, as usual, silly and ham-fisted. 0/10

It’s so hysterically funny I love it ! I always fell in a way bamboozled by them and really don’t mind. Great season !

The wearable looks are the deflated versions of the over-the-top, stuffed-to-the-gills versions. The matching pairs of girls walked out from opposite directions on the runway and then mirrored/faced each other in the middle.

ANGRY BIRDS​

Viktor&Rolf present a striking study in duality: a parade of fifteen pairs of identical garments, thirty looks in total, that explores the expressive potential of presence and absence, of spectacular and subtlety.

Each pair features two versions of the same black outfit. One version is voluminously stuffed with vibrant and colorful feathers, sculpting an exuberant, couture-inspired silhouette, crowned with custom hats by milliner Stephen Jones. Its alter ego, by contrast, appears featherless and unadorned, resulting in a fluid, softened silhouette.

Technically identical, yet entirely transformed: the all-black, featherless look becomes the quiet shadow, the stark antithesis of its extravagant predecessor. The looks are completed with custom satin heels by Christian Louboutin.

mixed feelings with this one even if I have never been an over the moon fan and in all fairness only a third of this collection is really HC. and it's good but the rest however is... not.
it also feels like it was made on a budget...
