Viktor & Rolf March Awkwardly White-Faced Models Down the Runway

For their Fall 2009 collection, Viktor & Rolf paraded what looked like sun-starved models down the runway. Supplemented a line heavy on grays and camel tones were faces (not limbs or other body parts) painted like snow-white porcelain mannequins. Adding their peculiar twist, they also matched stark white boots with the mostly earth-hued collection.

The Viktor & Rolf design duo have never been afraid to show off their eccentric side; a quick glance at the related articles below shows inverted Viktor & Rolf stores where everything appears upside down, fashion that rebels against its own industry and more.
