PILOT FETISH

- PARIS, October 6, 2004 - Viktor & Rolf's many fashion fans love the often disconcerting drama of their presentations. While that magic may have been missing in the past couple of seasons, it was back in full force for spring. To the sound of a military drum tattoo, the Dutch duo sent out an entirely black collection on an army of female fighter pilots, each clad in anonymous black helmets.

[...]Then, just as it seemed that Viktor & Rolf had gone over to the dark side, the stage revolved?and the world turned pink. "Flowerbomb, Flowerbomb, Flowerbomb," breathed a woman's voice, as a second collection of gowns and suits, all in shades of rose and touches of light beige, paraded the runway.
