Fall Fashion (or) How to Wear Your Sleeping Bag
CHATTY -- The blouse -- feminine, flowing, and fluttery -- is back for fall. But if you thought that The Blouse need always be sweetly ladylike, Viktor & Rolf would like to prove you wrong.
Subtlty is an art that need not be mastered. Pair this lavishly ruffled blouse with slim pants for balance and try to stay away from industrial fans, small, homeless birds, and folks with colds.
If a softly tied bow at the neck is too demure for your imperious personality, then channel Queen Elizabeth I with a boxy, bedclothesy, stiffly trimmed collar. There's no need to carry a purse with this fantastic number; any necessities can be gently cradled in a pillowy home along your neckline. There's also enough room for a puppy or a small infant.
Of course, the modern girl's primary fashion demand is that the outfit be "comfortable." And what could possibly be more comfortable than your bed? A brilliant idea, and far more classy than wearing pajama bottoms to class.
The best thing, ladies? These are all part of V&R's ready-to-wear collection, available for purchase by you, the common consumer.

actually, on a morbid note, they are also reminiscent of bodies in a casket...

I wish they had this in a men's line.

Mello, yeah, although Viktor-Rolf has a quirky menswear collection (see it here), there's not really that same over-indulgence that their women's collection lavishes unpon itself.
Stelmodad, you're right about the casket look. It's the creepy hair.
