The collision of two eras


I've always admired the brand Viktor & Rolf, for their use of imagination, sophistication and pure "out of the ordinary"-ness. The Dutch couple has always given the Parisian Runway a bitter taste, away from the endless elegance of the city -avec un certain je ne sais quoi.
In the above photo, we see the Bridal gown presented by Viktor and Rolf, in their latest collection in Paris. As we focus more and more on the dress, the inspiration of the Middle Ages becomes clearer, as the cuts and the volumes and eccentric proportions highlight the era of  European Kingdoms and their past glories. A bit further, we notice the modern colors, metal-like forms and fabrics and the black skinny trousers.
The fusion of two distant eras on one canvas made this bridal outfit special for it's unusual yet unique look.
