Alright, just because Halloween is around the corner and I got extra inspired, today's post won't be your typical history lesson--think of it as a retrospective of fairy horror tales.
They say in fashion, one day you are in and the next day you are out. Designers are constantly faced with the challenge of inventing and reinventing, and to do that they draw their sources of inspiration from art, novels, photography, architecture, design—anything in the arts really. Viktor & Rolf’s Fall 2011 collection, inspired from the Medieval and Silver Ages, certainly did not fail to raise eyebrows. The duo's signature avant-garde shapes with armor-like pleats and large flower motifs which served as a sort of coat of arms were worn by red faced models strolling along the runway. You can definitely judge by these two pictures without even having seen the entire collection that this was a strong showing for the Dutch pair—which especially put me in a Halloween mood (oh how appropriate)!

Strangely, Viktor & Rolf's interpretation of the Medieval and Silver Ages reminded me of the infamous Tin Man and Warlord Demon, portrayed below:
Spooked yet? I think yes!
