Tell CC, darlings: have we found a pot of gold or what?

A Word, Please

Fashion has a message, darlings. And sometimes it ain’t so subtle! At Viktor & Rolf (right), it was in three dimensions. At PPQ (left), it was cheekily art-y. From the sublime to the ridiculous, from block letters to barely visible script, words were the word on the runways for both Fall 2008 and Spring 2009!
