They dream in ivory
Part of Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren’s success at maintaining their Viktor & Rolf brand is an intuitive ability to go against the tide. They broke the ultimate fashion rule of “no white after Labor Day,” for example, by curating an autumn/winter style show that celebrated not just a refusal to conform, but also their 25 years together. A poetic metaphor for time travel between the past and the now, their all-white collection consisted of 25 looks conceptualized in voluminous gowns generously sprinkled with Swarovski crystals, edgy pantsuits, and hyper-dimensional dresses. And, despite playing with sharp shapes and textures, the duo succeeded in putting forth a collection that felt at once cohesive, refreshing, and fun. viktor-rolf.com

PURPLE REIGN
It may seem like the fashion world is finally getting rock star Prince’s career-long obsession with purple. Almost the moment Pantone announced Ultra Violet as its color of the year, designers incorporated the hue in collections. Whether at Gucci, Tibi, La Perla, Marni, or Victoria Beckham, purple accented runway looks, and not just in clothing, but also on striking accessories. Whether you’re ready to celebrate royalty’s long-standing a air with this vibrance, or simply working a new and fascinating neutral into your wardrobe, it’s time to punctuate with purple, people!
