Disturbing Runway Trend: Viktor & Rolf's Personal Lighting Systems

It's only a few days into the Prêt-à-Porter shows in Paris, but we think we may have a winner in the catwalk contrivance competition. They are almost as famous for their unorthodox presentations as they are for their clothes, so it should come as no surprise that Viktor & Rolf decided to send each model down the runway with her own personal light and sound system precariously perched on her shoulders to demonstrate that each model should be her own self-contained fashion show, complete with rigging. Naturally, opinions varied wildly on this clever trick. WWD swooned about it, but Style.com's Sarah Mower found it offensive and tortuous to the models. The Times' Cathy Horyn and The Washington Post's Robin Givhan have yet to be heard from on the matter. Her at The Shophound, we find it amusing, bu we are more disturbed about the fact that every model was shod in yellow wooden clogs. Yellow. Wooden. Clogs. We aren't worried that women are going to feel tempted to accessorize with scaffolding, but as far as yellow clogs are concerned, don't even think about it.
