The Lullablog: FASHION: Viktor And Rolf Haute Couture AW 15/16: Wearable Art

Haute Couture at a point where it LITERALLY goes fuzzy with art: Viktor and Rolf created a Collection which just screams at us about HOW MUCH fashion is art.

The reason why I decided to talk about this collection here is that I am a supporter of both, fashion and art, so I love the idea of using fashion as a symbol of how we are enveloped in art in our daily lifes.

Applying this idea on the runway show works in divers dimensions:
Take the metaphysical world behind an artwork and regard it as the muse. And also take the physical form it takes as becoming an artwork. Now, whatever emotional, aesthetic or psychologial challenge it may offer to decode the metaphysical world behind the artwork, when you look at it you start making associations and at this point you maybe realize that art is NOT seperate from life, it is the description of the lifes we lead.

Now while looking at the creations of this collection you may recognize that the designers idea of wearable art is executed in a way that emphasizes the conzept of blurring the borders between the metaphsical and the physical world by using breaking up the frames as a figure of speech.
As they do this they make the art flexible and more likely to literally wrap the human being in art. They show how fashion (equals art, equals haute couture etc) is for everyone who cares about the way art, in it's very divers physical forms it takes, enriches our being.

So maybe they want to tell us how we all are interested in art in some way.

I do love indicators for zeitgeist. Tumblr is one. I use to go to specific blogs, that I would declare as the greatest and freest blogs which are flowed through with art as I would describe it.
I recognized a tendency for being interested in art is en vogue. Just look at all these kinda pictures where super hip people stand in front of an artwork in a museum and are photographed from backwards.

let's do some maths:
if ZEITGEIST = TUMBLR; TUMBLR= INTEREST IN ART; INTEREST IN ART = ZEITGEIST; THIS COLLECTION = INTEREST IN ART;
THIS COLLECTION = ZEITGEIST

So NOW we are at the point, again, to let me decribe why I was so captured by this runway show when I first found it.
Viktor and Rolf perfectly executed their idea of zeitgeist.

Maybe I found a voice to create an output of what happens in my mind when I see runway shows, because I struggle a lot to put my love for fashion in words.
I hope so,
keep up reading my blog and always stay a loving soul,
