it's the north american premiere of the Victor&Rolf dolls and there's ten new ones
that were made specifically for this exhibition
by kind of rescaling then rethinking what
fashion is how it should be presented Viktor&Rolf decided to
put them in these scaled down
miniature versions perfectly made on the
custom-designed porcelain dolls. The dolls are made
for them in individually Belgium
they are hand-painted to emulate the makeup
and the eye colour of the model
who originally wore the design. They have these beautiful
uh... ceramic heads. And the body
is based on the nineteenth century mid-nineteenth century
female doll
so the shape of it is
a woman shape. Here they're installed on the runway. And it's perfect
with the lights, the catwalk
everything else that was on the fashion show so
these are replicas in a small scale
kind of this askewed weird scale too
Viktor&Rolf Dolls is on for the course of Luminato
at the entrance to the ROM. It's free
and we hope that as many people as possible come to see this amazing installation for the first
time in North America
