Viktor & Rolf Pre-Fall 2011

[MissMagAddict]

“We always like to play with opposites and this season we mixed the elegance of the tuxedo with a lumberjack streetwear attitude.” So said Rolf Snoeren about the elegant Victor & Rolf pre-fall collection he designed with Viktor Horsting. It was all about masculine, angular lines paired with soft, feminine fabrics, as demonstrated on a cozy checkered mohair coat worn over silk and wool dégradé cigarette pants. Meanwhile, checkered organza details on sleeves added a bit of quirk to a cotton poplin shirt, worn under a fitted silk wool tuxedo jacket with silk pinafores.

mm... more images but the first one looks promissing... the last reminds me of versace menswear that just showed.

Indeed.

Although V&R has a tendency to do things that are better described than actually seen. There's something off about some of the pieces, maybe a stylish issue. If it weren't for the high heels, I would have been fooled into thinking this was actually a menswear collection and not a womenswear collection inspired by menswear.

Hopefully more pictures will be available to change my mind.
