The Viktor & Rolf Fall 2012 collection showcases a series of seductive transparent styles. The selection of fur-clad overcoats and belted military trench coats will certainly offer warmth during the upcoming autumn season, albeit with some breezy haute couture features.
Many of the pieces exhibited in the Viktor & Rolf Fall 2012 Paris Fashion Week show were characterized by revealing see-through embellishments. Dark gauzy fabrics with small perforated sections proved to be the perfect fit for this look, found on the front, sides and backs of the Amsterdam label's designs. Leather, silk and velvet cuts were also the rule here, present throughout via the full length pantsuits, draping shawls, heavy collars and sleek black gloves.
