Fashion News: Paris, Viktor & Rolf, Miami Bikini Shop

Paris Fashion Week

Should fashion be considered art? That existential debate has gone on for decades.

Dutch duo Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren tried to put the question to rest at their Paris presentation by wrapping their latest couture creations in picture frames and blank canvasses _ an ingenious, creative and hilarious idea.

The bespectacled designers stood at the foot of the white, sanitized catwalk holding squashed white-framed canvass shapes crushed into abstract, often A-line, skirts. A model would appear, wearing nothing but a plain loose indigo minidress, and get “framed” by the designers, who fitted her into the skirt.

Beyond getting fashionistas chuckling, they produced some very thought-provoking looks _ like a jagged trapeze shape with one arm out and the other arm’s hand jutting up like a cubist work of art.

Then blue and other colors were splashed on the canvasses, which developed gilded, gold frames.

The show was a work of art _ but was it wearable fashion?
