    I wonder what, exactly, you'd expect an objective source to say about the essence of love. "It's everything except that red rose parfum crap. Man that stuff stinks. Ignore Ashley, it's just the crack talking."

    Love all of this. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo tired of retro fashion as the dominant paradigm. We have strip mined nearly every decade, and we are nipping on our own new millenium heels with the burgeoning goth-grunge wave. Someone, please take us FORWARD. I do not think I can stand to back to the 20s and start all over again (which is what I was wearing retro-wise in the 80s).

    LOVE!

    I'll happily take all the gowns and cocktail dresses, #15, and all the shoes.

    Then i will wear nothing but these clothes for the rest of my life.
    I'll spend half of each day petting the dresses in my closet and dancing in front of mirrors!
    The fun and happiness will never end.
    All will be good in the world!

    Fashion people, enlighten me. First, I love this. I don't know HOW you do that with tulle but it's amazing. My question is, though, what purpose do these looks serve? I mean do V&R sell slightly more accessible versions of these to couture clients? Ie, will we see giant cut-out puff dresses on the red carpet? Or do they just put it out there as art to inspire pepole who do more wearable clothes? I'm not being snarky, I'm just genuinely curious about how this kind of style inspiration gets translated through couture, to ready-to-wear, through "fast fashion," and eventually in the clearance rack at JCPenneys in five years.

    @Leucadia: Viktor & Rolf don't do couture. That's a whole 'nother ball game--there are only 5 or 6 fashion houses in the world that currently do haute couture. It's kind of a peeve of mine when non-trade pubs call ready-to-wear "couture." It's a very specific term that means, "exquisite, hand-made clothes made to order for one client at a time." That's why they cost upwards of $10,000, and they're the fashion version of a personal portrait of yourself by a good painter.

    Second, V&F do fantasy dresses that are meant to be little poems that only the most daring and committed fashionistas (like the late and wonderful Isabella Blow) would actually wear out-and-about. They pull the bulk of their revenue from accessories, perfume and fairly normal looking crap like ties for men and skirts and bags for ladies. I bet the majority of these runway pieces never go into wide-scale production. It happens often, with many designers. They showcase some dazzling, creative pieces on the runway, but then turn around and only mass-produce and release into stores things that have the potential to sell.

    Sorry for looooong answer, hope it makes sense.

    @snugbug: Thanks! I was going to ask the same thing. Some runway stuff in this vein is fascinating to see, but clearly not something anyone would wear, or so I thought--I don't know Isabella Blow, but I guess she would. I thought maybe they just went to a huge fashion museum or something.

    @remedios: Oh, do look her up if you got some time to burn. Isabella Blow was a gorgeously kooky and eccentric fashion goddess. She sadly committed suicide a few years ago. But in her time she gave genius Alexander McQueen his start..
