could've gone without this. strip back the stupid gimmicks and it's just eighteen near-identical ballgowns. it's kinda tragic.

great workmanship but, seen before. this is a hard season to take in all over the place

Is it wrong that I found this fun and enjoyable?

Small collection. Instagram went crazy for this today.

It's fun and enjoyable, but when you know their collections from the early 2000s, you know they can do better. They can do whatever they want because their money comes from perfume and their main HC customers are collectors, not people who actually wear it.

I think it's fun too. It reminds me that none of this needs to be taken too seriously. No setting out to make any big profound statements or proposals. Just having fun.

I love that couture season has brought fashion back. Its the combination of classy, conservative, crazy, bizarre, elegant etc whuich makes fashion fun. Designers are having fun with fashin again

 

[jeanclaude]

Dèjá-vu as hell!

 

[Cocteau Stone]

A lot of these are just typical ball gowns, but I really admire how well executed they are. So precise and unnervingly saccharine. They're just here to have a good time, and show people how well they can make things no matter what the ideas entail.

 

[TaylorBinque]

it's fun but no we've seen it all before.

Definitely not, I enjoyed it too. Even if I must say I expected more, perhaps something more daring and innovative but I surely won't complain about a well-executed eye-candy V&R collection, as short as it is.

It's fun but feel like accidentally click the rotate button.

 

[Mr-Dale]

It's very in their wheelhouse, nothing new. When the first pic popped up in my feed I instantly knew it was V&R, so their signature is undeniable. It's just not as innovative as it was back in the aughts. But, you know what, it's fun to look at, it's well done (how did they even construct the dress that's 'walking next' to the model?!) and it's a good time. And that's fine!

I kinda wish they'd work with a slightly more mature cast, though. Their models always make it feel so cutesy-wootsy and I'm never sure if that's the intention.

This comment is more tragic than this fun collection.
It's so eerily well executed, it has a surreal uncanny valley effect to it.
Some of the gowns are jaw dropping actually.

 

[gallianostan]

My taste is more tragic than this boring collection.

[Squizree]

These guys are still as pretentious as ever. They consistently contribute NOTHING to fashion.

I wanna say "All style, no substance", but it barely even has THAT. This is one of those brands that needs to die and NEVER be revived.

 

[Avonlea]

The actual ballgowns are really good. They remind me of those from Dior cruise 2011.

 

[susseinmcswanny]

Just saw they named this collection "Late Stage Capitalism Waltz" lol

 

[RaisinBoy]

Viktor and Rolf are going to do womens Dior in Paris. Like whole Paris is buzzing with that
