Viktor & Rolf Spring/Summer 2014 | Paris Fashion Week

Viktor & Rolf’s School Days – Viktor & Rolf go back to school with the Dutch design duo’s spring 2014 collection shown during the fifth day of Paris Fashion Week. The pair deconstructed schoolgirl uniform staples such as the blazer, pleated plaid skirt and button-up shirt. The result was a play on proportions and shape which was far from girly and more grownup. Tops or jackets were decorated with insignias, sometimes quite literal and other times more abstract with geometric shapes. Skirts also riffed off the classic uniform, but were transformed with multiple layers or voluminous pleats. Long waistcoats and high necklines also gave the spring outing an almost boyish undertone.
