Meet the Viktor & Rolf “action dolls”, the Fall 2017’s collection mascots who, to quote the program notes, “are rooting for a world that is creative, diverse, and eco-conscious.”
In their highly modified MA-1 bomber jackets complete with bright orange lining and paired with jeans and Doc Martens, they were properly dressed for their role.
Whatever vibe you pick up from these dolls – kooky, cute, creepy, clever – the designers insisted their intention was anything but cynical.
“We thought reality is so weird at the moment, why not show the surreal side of reality,” said Rolf Snoeren.
Viktor Horsting suggested that “these [dolls] are fighting for a better world” via the patchwork symbolizing unity.
