Sweet and chic, the Viktor & Rolf Resort 2014 collection was inspired by the look of school girl uniforms. Yet while the structured lines, pleated skirts and buttoned blazers borrow from this prim and proper apparel, there is an edginess to the designs that are entirely in the realm of the Dutch fashion designers' repertoire.
Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren may have chosen to stick with a relatively monochromatic palette save for the occasional use of bright blue, yet there is nothing neutral about the Viktor & Rolf Resort 2014 collection. Instead, they have introduced their own twist on the miniskirt as well as a more boxy silhouette for the jackets. Overall, they have reimagined a school girl’s essential through a modernistic and minimal eye.
