Everyone and their dog has a blog nowadays and now you can add Viktor and Rolf to the list…sort of. The designers are blogging at The Moment (NYTimes.com) about their preparations for a fashion retrospective exhibition at the Barbican Art Gallery in London.

The focal point of the display? Fifty-five miniature dolls wearing exact replicas of their most memorable designs — and one doll that looks exactly like actress and sometimes muse Tilda Swinton.

A little bit creepy, but mostly cool.

Viktor and Rolf will be blogging at The Moment until their show opens, so check out their updates. The exhibit opens at the Barbican Art Gallery in London on June 18 and runs through September 21.

Viktor and Rolf have a history of putting on dramatic runway shows, but fashion editors have not always been kind to their clothes. For Spring 2008, the design team seemed to reign in their wild ways and sent out looks that were for the most part very wearable. The white jacket with it’s ruffled collar was pure genius. There were white minidresses and soft pink dresses with black diamond detailing at the hem. A musical motif emerged with dual violins on a rose pink column dress and oversized violin necklaces.

Now let’s talk accessories. They continued the theme with a pair of killer half black/half white stilettos with harlequin heels. For spring, the white patent leather bag will replace this season’s black patent leather trend and Viktor and Rolf’s gold chain adorned tote will definitely make it to the must-have list.
