What happens when Viktor and Rolf, Studio Job, Swarovski and Roisin Murphy come together in the Jardin des Tulleries during the Paris Spring/Summer 2010 shows?
Pure ‘prêt-à-porter’ perfection. Never one to miss a “beat”, make that a ‘cut’; Viktor and Rolf’s Sping/Summer 2010 “Pedestal Collection” was a visual trip for the senses.
Combining the worlds of music, design and fashion, the designers mixed haute couture tailoring with an out of this world modernity. Beyond the mix of pop stars, tulle and plissé… the set, the lighting and music engaged the audience in a way only Viktor & Rolf can do.
Standing and lit side stage was another star of the show, Studio Job’s 4m+ Swarovski Globe that dominated and glittered as bright as the models on the runway. Designed in 2008 for the Swarovski Crystal Palace in Milan, the globe is encrusted with 500,000 Swarovski crystals.
“Maybe it’s the sense of time and gravity that touches us, maybe it is the earth that keeps turning and turning.” says Job Smeets. Or maybe it was just a little reminder that in the world of fashion Viktor & Rolf can shine just as bright. Part of a series of set design collaborations between Studio Job and Viktor & Rolf.
