Here’s video of the Viktor & Rolf  Fall 2010 runway show, which took place in Paris a few days back. The show was entitled ‘Glamour Factory,” and according to Wallpaper, the show opened with model Kristen McMenamy dressed in 23 (!!) layers. The designers then undressed Kristen and put the garments on other models until Kristen was completely undressed. They then reversed the process and relayered her until she was back to her original multi-layered outfit. Crazy dramatic. And yep, the clothes themselves backed up all the pageantry. The one issue is that V & R staged a similar show back in 1999. Of course that was before fashion’s every move was documeted on the internet so I could see how they think it was worthy of a redo.

Amsterdamn-based, fashion house Viktor & Rolf puts its own very special stamp on the hybrid gladiator/bootie profile for Spring 2010. You can’t see it so well in this image, but the stamp on the side of the shoe is what puts it over the top. Good for those nights when you’re sick of taking everyone’s b.s. Pair these heels with a black hoodie and a sullen face and let people know you’re not as nice as they think you are.
