On a closer look at the accessories from the Viktor & Rolf Spring ‘10 runway,  I found the use latex on the footwear to be innovative and fresh. Usually this much pink can get me nervous but the mix of hues, allows it to work . More images on on the page via style & nymag.

Voktor & Rolf have come up with what I can call conversation piece footwear. it’s alot easier to wear daring shoes than clothes at least in my book.These ruffle booties made me do a double take,check on the other page for flaming wedges.

Renzo Rosso, the Italian industrialist behind Diesel, has acquired a majority stake in the Dutch designer firm Viktor & Rolf with ambitions to build it into one of the “top reference fashion houses of the future.”

Financial terms were not disclosed, but Rosso told WWD he plans to make major investments to bolster the duo’s ready-to-wear business, add licensed products such as eyewear and jewelry, plus open freestanding stores in high-visibility locations.
