“Surreal” toilets from the house “Viktor & Rolf” – Watch video

“Surreal” toilets, which formed upside-down or sideways silhouettes, presented in the SS23 collection the Dutch fashion house Viktor & Rolf at the show that took place at the Intercontinental Le Grand Hotel, a historical landmark of Paris (opened in 1862). Dubbed ‘Late Stage Capitalism Waltz’, the house created the collection of 18 gowns, mostly made of tulle, with the intention of recalling the ‘golden age’ of haute couture in the mid-20th century.

Models showed off gowns, which were pointed in different directions to create unconventional silhouettes. “The dress, while maintaining its idealized shape, competes with the body, distances itself and frees itself from it, in a surreal way,” said the house.

For the pastel colors of the dresses, the house was inspired by the works of the 18th century French painters François Boucher and Antoine Watteau, while the Swarovski crystals that adorned many of the gowns wanted to be an echo of the evening shows of the middle of the previous century.

“It’s an absurd version of a stereotypical haute couture gown for the 21st century,” emphasized Viktor & Rolf. “Dreams are, however, illusory. The familiar becomes strange as the commonplace transforms into the paradoxical and vice versa,” they added.
